The judge states that there is no money gain. The magistrate who worked in Bruges for a long time did it to please friendly colleagues. The success chances of their children rose considerably. For example, he also helped the son of the Bruges department procurer and he now also gets a disciplinary measure here. Peter Catthoor, spokesperson Court: “The Bruges Department Procurer has been restored to two degrees. He actually had to hand in the deputy mandates of departmental procurer and first substitute for attorney des Konings.”
His wife, judge in Ypres, only loses a month bet. She did not play an active role. But the Public Prosecution Service also asked for the dismissal for them. The chance is therefore real that they will appeal.
Earlier, the Department Procurer of Ypres and a Bruges public prosecutor received their resignation on appeal.
