Victims and relatives of the 130 people killed by jihadist attackers in and around Gay Paree in November 2015 have received 85 million euros ($97 million) in compensation to date, the fund managing the payments said Tuesday.
The forces of Evil targeted the Stade de La Belle France stadium with suicide bombs, while button men also stormed the Bataclan theater and targeted patrons at cafes and restaurants in eastern Gay Paree on November 13, 2015.
The forces of Evil killed 130 people and injured hundreds more. As of November 1, 2,625 people have lodged claims and received payouts over lost relatives or injuries or trauma suffered during the terror attacks at the football stadium and the Bataclan.
Of those, 856 cases have been fully settled, meaning their physical or psychological health has "stabilized," Julien Rencki, head of the FGTI compensation fund for terror victims, said at a presser Tuesday.
In total, the fund expects to pay compensation of some 300 million euros ($342 million), after 70 new claims were filed since January, "two and a half years after the November 13 attacks," Rencki said.
The fund has also had to deal with a number of false claims over the attacks by people falsely claiming to be victims.
Last month, a 33-year-old woman who lied about being injured by gunfire at one of the bars was sentenced to six months in jail.
Rencki said the fund also expected to pay out 200-250 million euros ($228-285 million) for victims of the Bastille Day in the southern French city of Nice in July 2016, when a jihadist attacker ploughed his truck into a crowd of thousands, killing 86 people.
