Dutroux's photo is in the front page of BBC. From http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3520819.stm "The trial has been delayed for eight years as police investigated claims of a wider paedophile ring."

Just revealed by ZDF, which also showed the first exclusive interview with Nioul : at least 27 witness were murdered or commited "suicide" in the last 6 years. Revealed March 1, 00:05 AM, in the second channel of German State Television ZDF.

Now Freepers know about it. But just how many of the 1400 journalists attending the trial will report that ?

[steplock]

Of course a little background into this person - links, etc might make this a little more understandable.

[Tailback]

Yes, the google translation is quite garbled. Could you provide some background of the people involved in the story? Sounds very Clintonesque doesn't it?

Long time Freepers should be aware of this case. Am quite surprised the guy hasn't hanged himself in his cell and then smashed his head to a pulp on the toilet rim.

[Truth666]

Yes, I'm also surprised that he didn't commit "suicide" too.

[Cicero]

This is the Belgian who was involved in a highclass pedophile ring. A couple of young girls were found dead in his basement dungeon. Police had paid a visit earlier when neighbors tipped them off, but ignored the screams.

News that has leaked out so far suggests that politicians throughout the highest levels of the Belgian government must be involved in this, since the case has been inexplicably delayed, judges and prosecutors have stepped down, and the media have mostly refused to report on it.

A large part of the country arose in political protest, but that achieved nothing. Clearly they were waiting for the excitement to die down. Why they haven't just murdered Dutroux in jail, ala clinton, is a bit of a puzzler.

This stuff almost makes clinton look good by comparison. The Belgian government may well be the most corrupt in the whole world. No wonder they side with the French, and no wonder headquarters for the EU is in Belgium. Shades of King Leopold.

"Sounds very Clintonesque doesn't it"

The first thing that came to my mind, too.

I read an article a little while ago in der Spiegel. The parents are still trying to get answers. I hope it doesn't get buried/forgotten -- like the Clintons' many deceased friends and acquaintenances.

P>Sounds very Clintonesque doesn't it?

"at least 27 witness were murdered or commited "suicide" Sounds VERY Clintonesque!

Perhaps he was smart enough to stash some evidence away for release if he dies.

[Truth666]

Probably. But still can't explain it completely (cf.my open question about the 1400 - my guess : 0)

Re: #4

That's a much better writeup, thanks for bringing this to FR. I'm going to try to ping people on this to keep the attention on it.

Dang!! Sounds like the Belgians are into more than waffles nowadays.

[Tailback]

clintonesque trail of bodies ping.

[Chu Gary]

Hmm, thought this would be about BJ Klintoon's reign.

[Truth666]

As predicted, I saw this mentioned by none of those 1400, at least the ones that I could check
