According to the Public Prosecution Service, Stefaan V. bought the flakka in the Netherlands and then resold the drugs at a profit to at least fifteen customers. In those circumstances, the Public Prosecution Service demanded a two-year effective prison sentence, 30,000 euros for confiscation and an 8,000 euros fine. His companion was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
The defense argued that the Diksmuiden resident actually only dealt on a limited scale, but killed himself by bragging about his business. However, the judge sentenced him to 38 months of effective imprisonment, 8,000 euros in confiscation and an 8,000 euros fine. Xavier V. was sentenced to 18 months of effective imprisonment for his limited share as requested.
