Belgium’s justice minister is under fire over a party where people urinated on a police car | outside
Belgian Justice Minister Vincent van Quickenborn has come under fire for guests urinating on a police car at his birthday party. Pictures of the incident give the impression that the minister was aware of the violation, while he had previously denied it.
Three weeks ago, visitors to Van Quickenborn’s birthday party urinated several times on a police car parked at his home. The police reaction was angry. The minister, who is also in charge of the police, disagreed, but insisted he missed it.
New questions are now being raised on this topic VRT Pictures of that August evening. It appears that the urinating guests took funny photos and videos of their actions with the empty and open police van, which they also sat in for a while.
A few hours later, the minister also came out. On the sidewalk, he’s looking at his phone with a partygoer, laughing and pretending to pee. Then he walks to the police car and opens the door.
Van Quickenborn’s house is additionally guarded by the police
Van Quickenborn maintains that he knows nothing. His oath says: “An inference from the gestures he was perceiving is an interpretation.”
The Belgian public prosecutor says the investigation is not yet complete. Police unions are again demanding clarification. Trade unionist Carlo Meadow talks about “taking responsibility and drawing his own conclusions”.
The police have tight security at the Van Quickenborn home since it was targeted by criminal gangs. It was for this reason that the liberal minister had to go into hiding for some time.
