Bookkeeper Boudewijn Seapark remains in jail

SD had only been working as a bookkeeper at Boudewijn Seapark for a few months. In that position he would have transferred more than 90,000 euros to his own account, but that tampering was quickly noticed. Further research will have to show exactly how much money the forty-something would have stolen.

On September 18, the suspect was arrested by the Bruges investigating judge on suspicion of abuse of trust. The Bruges council chamber again ruled on Friday morning that the accountant must remain in prison for at least a month longer in the interest of the investigation. His counsel Jonas Van Oyen did not want to say anything about the exact content of the case after the hearing. The suspect’s gambling addiction may have played a role in the facts.
