Moreover, it is not the first time that Desaever has to appear for the Bruges criminal court. In April 2024, she was already sentenced to ten months in prison with a delay for social fraud and scams. She turned out to have cheated with corona premiums and was on paper as manager of her father’s café, who had an operating ban.

The tax fraud case was introduced on Wednesday morning. The parties involved will have the opportunity to put their views on paper in the coming months. The final plea will take place on 8 October.
