Overview
- The civil ruling, delivered Monday in Albi, orders the total removal of parental authority over Louis, 11, and Elyah, 6.
- The children remain under their maternal aunt’s guardianship, where they have lived since their mother’s disappearance in December 2020.
- The court granted €50,000 to each child as a provision pending full assessment of their damages, to be managed by the administrator for the minors’ interests.
- Defense lawyers say they will appeal the civil decision; Jubillar has already appealed his October conviction and 30-year sentence and remains incarcerated at Toulouse-Seysses.
- Removal of authority ends any custody, visitation, or decision-making rights on education and health, a measure requested by the children’s counsel after testimony about intrafamilial violence at trial.
