Four people suspected of having set up a corruption network in Brussels to issue false documents allowing them to obtain a driving license are sleeping behind bars.
Brussels investigating judge Aurélie Dejaiffe, according to a source close to the case, indicted and placed under arrest warrant four people, this Wednesday. Now in preventive detention, these men are suspected of having set up and operated a network for issuing false documents allowing you to obtain a driving license. They are being prosecuted for criminal conspiracy, public corruption, money laundering and forgery and use of forgery. They will appear before the Brussels council chamber next Monday.
Three driving school agencies managed by the same person and located in Anderlecht, Koekelberg and Laeken were administratively closed by Brussels Mobility.
At dawn on Tuesday morning, around ten searches were carried out in the Brussels region and in Flanders, notably in several driving schools. Three driving school agencies managed by the same person and located in Anderlecht, Koekelberg and Laeken were notably closed administratively by Brussels Mobility. Their curtain was down this Wednesday. On the documents displayed on the signs, we can read in particular that the director of these driving schools was “suspended with immediate effect” following “ongoing legal proceedings”.
Cash and luxury vehicles
The searches allowed investigators from the Central Office for the Repression of Corruption (OCRC), supported by the OCDEFO and the Brussels-North police zone, to get their hands on large amounts of cash and grab several luxury vehicles.
The Brussels public prosecutor’s office, which did not respond to our questions, mentioned Tuesday, in a press release, a “major operation”targeting “people suspected of forming a network active in corruption and the issuance of false documents allowing them to obtain a driving license”.
