Isabelle Coutant-peyreIsabelle Coutant-Peyre is a French lawyer engaged to Ilich Ramrez Snchez (the international terrorist better known by the nom de guerre "Carlos the Jackal"). She represented Zacarias Moussaoui early during his imprisonment while awaiting trial for his alleged role in the terrorist attacks of September 11. She was married to a civil servant and has three sons, Florent, Gabriel, and Aurelien. She became a lawyer and worked with Jacques Vergs, defender of Klaus Barbie and Slobodan Milošević; she supports her defense of "revolutionary fighters" with income derived from her activities as a business lawyer. In her political cases, she employs "rupture" techniques, treating the trials as lynchings. She was briefly jailed for likening French police to the Gestapo. Her fianc Carlos is serving a life term in La Sant prison in relative isolation, and their attempts to marry have been frustrated by legal issues. Conjugal visits can only be made after a civil marriage occurs; a Muslim ceremony performed in 2001 (when Carlos was married to his second wife, and Isabelle was married to her first husband) had no legal force.
