The College of Prosecutors General wrote to the Minister of Justice to deplore ad hominem attacks on a magistrate from the Brussels public prosecutor’s office, during the press conference following the attack committed three weeks ago in the capital, reported Friday La Libre Belgique.

The College of Attorneys General sent, on October 30, a three-page letter to the new Minister of Justice, Paul Van Tigchelt (Open Vld). The country’s five attorneys general deplore the fact that, “during the press conference, the resigning Minister of Justice (Vincent Van Quickenborne, editor’s note) insisted that in the case ‘an individual error, a monumental error, an unacceptable error, an error with dramatic consequences was committed by an ‘individual magistrate’“.

The attorneys general believe that, by these remarks, Vincent Van Quickenborne “set the tone for what degenerated into incessant targeted attacks on a Brussels public prosecutor whose photo and identity were even published“.
