The members of the Hells Angels, who twice crushed a man from Rongy, Jacques Dubart, and killed him, are still in the wild.
A more than challenging situation. We know that the hearings are continuing and that the justice system is doing everything possible to find the culprits of these unspeakable facts, qualified as assassination for one and attempted murder for the beaten up man. “This file is under investigation, and the elements of the investigation are being exploited: you will understand that I cannot express myself further on these” told us Dominique Debrauwere, head of the police zone. of Tournaisis. “I can’t tell you anything more, it’s the inquisitorial phase. Whenever I can communicate, I do. But there, the examining magistrate would not accept it and rightly so. People are working hard and will be doing it for days to come.”
A meeting is scheduled
The mayor of Tournai Paul-Olivier Delannois, president of the Tournaisis police zone, is obviously very concerned by this problem which worries him a lot. He convened an extraordinary College of the police zone this Wednesday “to discuss what can be done in the short, medium and long terms as well as at the level of the festivities to come this summer”. But he did not wait for this recent tragedy to react. Similar facts, but with less serious consequences, took place on May 4, 2022 in the middle of the afternoon and in the middle of rue de Courtrai, in the city center of Tournai. Members of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang had hammered members of the Bandidos, a rival gang. The mayor then immediately arrested the Minister of the Interior, Annelies Verlinden. The latter had confirmed that if the fight against these particular criminal gangs is among the priorities and that the “DJSOC/Highsider” service of the federal judicial police has an updated image of the phenomenon, it remains however very difficult to anticipate confrontations between motorcycle gangs.
A few days after the fatal attack during the marquee of Péronnes, it is still the shock in Picardy Wallonia. For the organizers of the upcoming festivities, the subject will inevitably come to the table. A greater police presence in Ère? – BL By NE Posted on 07/17/2023 at 18:18
At the level of the festivities in Tournaisis, a meeting is planned between the mayor and president of the police zone Paul-Olivier Delannois and the police zone of Tournaisis this Wednesday in order to discuss, among other things, the festivities to come within The area. “I had contacts throughout the weekend with the divisional commissioner and I scheduled a special zone college following these facts. We are going to see what we can do in the short, medium and long term in the face of this phenomenon, but also to see what we are going to do at the festive level to avoid this kind of drama”, confirms Paul-Olivier Delannois, very concerned about this growing phenomenon. “It’s anything but trivial!” This is not the first event that has occurred between these two rival bands. I had already arrested the minister in 2022 following hammer blows in rue de Courtrai. I intend to call him again”.
The Festival Les Gens d’Ère is fast approaching since it will be held the last weekend of July. The organizers have already contacted the Tournai authorities to see what needs to be done to ensure the safety of festival-goers. “There will certainly be a reinforced police presence as well as more security agents”, explains Gwen Vanzeveren, the president of the Gens d’Ère. “But it is too early to have a concrete, precise figure. In my opinion, we should not stigmatize, it was a settling of scores that could have taken place anywhere in Tournai. We understand, of course, that people are worried, but we will take all the necessary measures to ensure that festival-goers are calm about that.

“Hope for the presence of the police”
On the side of Obigies, the village festival takes place like every year around August 15 and no particular measures have yet been taken. “A meeting is scheduled for Tuesday but a priori, we would keep the usual security system. What happened in Péronnes has nothing to do with the festivity itself, which was well organized. For the moment, I do not see what to change for our festivity. Whether there is more or less of a security guard will not change anything if a similar event occurs. As for the organizers of Péronnes, we think of them and we will try to contact them to see what can be done for them, ”says Didier Ménart, organizer.
Finally, in Tourpes, where the big top brings together many young people each year, no possible reinforcement of security has been planned either at the present time. In the head of the organizers, the FJA of Leuze, however, we hope for one or the other adaptation. “We will have meetings in the coming days about this problem”, specifies the president, Brice Vandecnocke, who was present in Péronnes during the events of last weekend. “One thing is certain, we can only hope that the police will be present throughout the weekend. The tourpière festivities take place on August 24, 25, 26 and 27.
