Today, three decades after sowing terror across the world, the Jackal, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, is ready to stand trial in Paris, in a case that could determine whether you go outside of a prison again.

A resident of a prison in Paris since he was captured in Sudan in 1994, Ramirez is already serving a life sentence for the murder of two French policemen and a suspected informant in 1975.

The 62-year trial began last Monday and discussed his alleged involvement in four attacks in France, which left 11 dead and dozens injured in the 1980s. It is likely that in determining whether you will ever set foot in his native country, Venezuela again.

In an interview with the Guardian, the brother of 53, Ramirez, Vladimir Ramirez Sanchez, Ramirez insisted that, once described as the most dangerous man was innocent of murder.

"I am not prepared to plead guilty for something that is considered a heroic act when committed by powerful nations. Although these dual moral standards continue to exist, I will not accept that my brother is guilty of all the others who oppose hegemony, "said Vladimir, an activist of the Communist Party of Venezuela, which was described as an engineer part-time and full-time defender of his brother.

Ilitch was born in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, in 1949. He was one of three son of a wealthy lawyer Marxist José Altagracia Ramirez Navas, and each received a revolutionary name. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and

"My brothers, who were only a year apart, were educated at home by teachers Communists. We had a pool table at home and were allowed to play only encourages discipline and precision. Outdoor play balls are considered a total loss of our time, "said Vladimir.

In the 1960s, the family moved to London. "The Father's plan was that we would spend nine years in Europe, divided between England, France and Germany, the acquisition of linguistic and cultural tools that would give us a more complete view of the world and we can better contribute to the revolutionary process at the time. "

Transformation

of an international terrorist Ilich began to Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, the name of the main legally elected Prime Minister in the Democratic Republic of Congo who was assassinated in 1961.

Famous for being a training ground for the revolutionary left and guerrillas in Latin America, Asia and Africa, the university was apparently not radical enough Ilich. He was expelled in 1970.

"He speaks to students in Cuba and Chile and Vietnam, and compare their conflict," said Vladimir. "He decided the best way to defeat imperialism was to take weapons and the best place to do it was the Middle East, so he joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. "

Ilich displaced in Lebanon and adopted Charles as his nom de guerre. It has become increasingly involved in a mosaic of global terrorist organizations such as Baader-Meinhof gang in West Germany or the Red Army Faction.

Then in 1975, his reputation as a poster-boy of the revolutionary left, was consolidated when 11 oil ministers were taken hostage during an OPEC meeting in Vienna. Is said to have helped plan the attack on Beirut.
