The 50-year-old child criminal, sentenced last week in Ghent and actively sought by the police, was arrested in the Netherlands thanks to the “hard work” of the Belgian and Dutch FAST teams, tweeted Wednesday the Minister of Justice, Vincent Van Quickenborne.

The man had been placed on Tuesday on the list of the most wanted people in Belgium (Belgium’s Most Wanted).

Rony Van Weyenberg, 54, was sentenced last Friday by the Ghent Court of Appeal to six years in prison and 10 years in court for the execution of sentences for rape of a minor, sexual exploitation of children and child pornography. He was not present in court during the verdict.

The court of appeal had ordered his immediate arrest, but he was not at his home when the police arrived. Since then, Rony Van Weyenberg was the subject of a national and international search on the basis of a European arrest warrant.

The Fugitive Active Search (FAST) team of the federal police, which cooperates with FAST teams abroad, had been called upon.

The individual had posted a Facebook message (“nice and warm here”) suggesting that he was in Ibiza.
