Three released by French police in 2015 Paris attacks probe
A lack of incriminating evidence in the investigation leads to two men and a woman being let go
Three people arrested in an investigation into the January 2015 Paris attack have been released, according to the local prosecutor’s office.
They cited a lack of incriminating evidence as the reason for the release of the two men and one woman detained on Tuesday.
It comes as part of a probe dealing with suspected suppliers of weapons to the attackers who targeted the Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher store in Paris.
Preliminary charges have already been filed against 14 people in the investigation, with 13 in jail pending trial.
The three 2015 attackers were killed in shootouts with police.
Brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi killed 12 at Charlie Hebdo’s office.
Their associate Amedy Coulibaly later killed a policewoman outside Paris and four people at a Jewish supermarket in the city.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
