In this establishment, there are really a lot of people, and I was holding a friend by the hand so that we didn’t get lost in the crowd of people gathered at the bar. A bad habit costs him dearly. “I always put my phone in a back pocket of my pants,” he confides to RTL. There, while I had my hands busy, I felt that someone was stealing my phone, but by the time I reacted and turned around, there was already no one there. »

The Belgian police can already do nothing when he is in Belgium. I can’t see myself calling the police in Morocco or traveling there to get them to do something,” he resigns himself.
