He was detained on 13 March 2004, accused of multiple counts of murder, attempted murder, stealing a vehicle, belonging to a terrorist organisation and four counts of carrying out terrorist acts.
Spain's El País newspaper says three witnesses have testified to seeing him leave a rucksack aboard one of the bombed trains.
Zougam owned a mobile phone shop in the Lavapiés neighborhood in Madrid called Nuevo Siglo (The New Century). He is believed to be the person who sold telephones which were used to detonate the bombs from the bombings. He also reportedly helped construct the bombs and was one of the first to be arrested..

October 2007 - A Spanish court finds 21 people guilty out of 28 charged over the 2004 Madrid train bombings that killed 191 people. Seven were acquitted of involvement. Moroccan Jamal Zougam and Spaniard Emilio Suarez Trashorras were both given sentences of thousands of years, although under Spanish law can only serve a maximum of 40 years. All the suspects pleaded innocent and those found guilty are expected to appeal against their sentences.
