Belgian prosecutors said Tuesday they would not appeal the verdicts in the cases of 14 Belgium-based suspects accused of providing support for the November 2015 jihadist attacks in Paris.

The decision confirms the judgements in the Belgian case, running in parallel to a French trial, despite four acquittals and the sentences of those convicted falling short of those requested by prosecutors.
