Paris suspect Salah Abdeslam’s attorney said his client can serve as an informant.

The 26-year-old Frenchman is currently being held in a high-security prison in Belgium. He is accused of alleged connections to the Paris attacks on Nov. 13, where gunfire and suicide bombings killed 130 people.

I would even say he is worth his weight in gold.
