The Paris Criminal Court also sentenced another of the main defendants, Mohammed Abrini, to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 22 years.
Abdeslam was the only survivor of the nine members of the commandos that committed the attacks, while Abrini was part of the group that traveled from Brussels to Paris to execute them, although at the last minute he resigned from participating.
The other defendants were sentenced to sentences ranging from life imprisonment to four years in prison.
The court found guilty the 20 defendants who have appeared for almost ten months for their involvement in the jihadist attacks of November 13, 2015 that caused 130 deaths and hundreds of injuries in the French capital and its surroundings.
