Abdeslam, 32, a French national of Moroccan origin, said that he had pledged allegiance to Islamic State 48 hours before the Paris attacks, the deadliest in postwar France.
Without explicitly stating what, if any role, he had played in the attacks, Abdeslam said only that he had harmed no-one.
“It's important for me to say this, because since the beginning of this case, people have not stopped slandering me.”
