He is already the third G4S security officer to be removed from his post during a trial for terrorism, write Monday Het Nieuwsblad, Gazet van Antwerpen and Het Belang van Limburg.
During the first preliminary hearing of the trial, on September 12, a G4S agent had already been fired from his position because of the same complaint.
The exact meaning of “unprofessional behavior” is not specified. But according to some sources, one of the two security guards would have shown an “unhealthy interest” in the weapons of the specialized police officers responsible, among other things, for the personal surveillance of Salah Abdeslam, Abrini and others.
During the first terrorism trial in the spring, the so-called Paris Bis trial, a security guard was also reportedly fired. This man, who guarded the parking lot of the courtroom in the former NATO buildings, was apparently known to the security services for “radicalization”, confirmed to the newspapers Michaël Lamhasni, director general of the SPF Justice.
