Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam exercised his right to silence as he appeared in a French court for his first questioning by the judges investigating the case.
Friday morning's court hearing at the Palace of Justice in the centre of Paris was not open to the public.
Salah Abdeslam is thought to have played a key role in planning the Paris attacks and transporting the attackers.
The co-ordinated attacks by so-called Islamic State in November killed 130.
Dozens more were severely wounded.
