The defendant went to work in 2010 as director of primary school Hemelsdaele in Bruges. In the first instance, all payments went through an official account of the school. In the context of a European exchange project, a separate account was opened at another bank in 2013. Through that account, PC would have finished a total of 85,000 euros to its personal account. In addition, according to his secretary, the Bruggeling would also have put the income of after -school care and of the cakes in his own pocket.
The tampering came to light in 2020, but the director made another attempt to wash his hands in innocence. C. explained a false piece that showed that the bill was no longer used. Earlier he had also falsified the expenditure states of the school credit card. The Public Prosecution Service took into account his blank criminal record and progressed twelve months in prison with a postponement and an effective fine. “But what the hell did you inspire to do something like that,” said Attorney Saskia Schepens.
