After the attack, on 04/15/2002, Christian  Ganczarski was detained by German authority for questioning. He was released shortly afterwards because of lack of evidence and left to Saudi Arabia.

 

Christian  Ganczarski was arrested, on 06/03/2003, at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, when he arrived from Saudi Arabia, almost simultaneously with another cell mate, Karim Mehdi, as they traveled to the French island of Reunion in the INDIAN Ocean, about 500 miles (800km) east of Madagascar, where, prosecutors said, they were planning to stage a Bali-style nightclub attack using a booby-trapped vehicle. Both were close associates of Willie Brigitte.

 

* On Friday 02/06/2009 in Paris, the French court convicted Christian  Ganczarski in being involved in organizing the Jerba Attack. Christian  Ganczarski was sentenced to 18 years imprisonment.  The sentence was a shorter than prosecutors had hoped for.
