On December 7, the first suits were distributed to the first soldiers in the Grobbendonk barracks. These would be modern, durable, smooth and light. Through social media, the Belgian Defense discovered that the costumes are already for sale on the internet.
Packages on loan
The Ministry’s legal department is investigating the case, Defense reports to Flemish media. If the sellers are found, they face a hefty penalty. According to Defense, the suits are “on loan” and they are intended to be returned after use.
