New revelation about failed multi-million i-Police project puts even more pressure on Minister Verlinden: did she make a mistake or is it a political settlement?

Annelies Verlinden (CD&V) remains under fire about the failed multimillion-dollar i-Police project. Eighteen months before she became minister, Verlinden defended the French IT company Sopra Steria as a lawyer. The same company was commissioned by Verlinden in 2021 to digitize the police. Conflict of interest? Or is Verlinden being targeted by its political enemies? “The fact that she has a bad reputation in the government doesn’t help.”
