Was Marc Dutroux a pawn for a child trafficking network in which Belgian GLADIO was involved, or even possibly running? Traces of this network can be found post WWII up until 1996 and Dutroux's arrest.

It seemed that this particular unit had been instating a rule of terror at the military base they were stationed at, the Adjudant Brasseur Camp in Amay. The Minister first received a private email from the dad of one of the impacted soldiers in November of 2023.

Here's the first still from MALDOROR, a movie based on the Dutroux affair that's releasing in 2024, and is directed by Fabrice Du Welz. Here's the synopsis :

If that wasn't enough, there's also talks about racism inside the base, ammo being wasted during these hazing "games", being forced to drink out of an human skull, and the drugs and the weapons trafficking. There is an ongoing investigation regarding the same platoon.

According to the victims and their families, it's much worse than that. One dad claims his son was raped. He was striped naked and then a superior officer inserted a broom handle in his ass. Most of the newcomers were crying, and then the superiors took turns pissing on him.

The same young man who was violated with the broom handle was also made to lick up the feces in the shower. Pure torture, said the family. Pictures and videos of these "games" were found at some of the officers home, on their phone, which lead to disbanding of the platoon.

This culture inside the Belgian military seems to have been around for a few years, probably decades - or even since it's inception. What's new is that there are leaks of these stories to the media and some of these officers are finally facing repercussions.

This thread is going to try and explain that, indeed, Dutroux seemed to be working for an organization akin to GLADIO. The principal investigation into the crimes of Dutroux is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of child abuse and trafficking networks in Belgium.

Most of you are familiar with this notion, but what's referred to as the Dutroux affair reaches far more people and documented cases of abuse than the 6 kidnappings and the 4 murders he's been accused of personally and held responsible for.

Regina Louf's claims include being groomed for prostitution and abuse (by local Belgian high profiles), by her own grandmother. She was "given" to her by her parents, and setup with a pimp, from as early as she can remember. I'll spare the gruesome details.

There are a LOT of details I'm passing out on here, but this is not the focus of this thread. Instead let's focus on the phone line set up right after the arrest of Dutroux. The goal was for this to serve as a call for witnesses, if there were any victims willing to speak up.

"During that era, in Belgium, the Brabant killings were intertwined with drug trafficking, arms trafficking… but also with the enigmatic affair of the “pink ballets” (aka Dossier Pinon), which involves high-level officials participating in orgies, where minors were involved."

Some news regarding the Brabant Killers : “Relatives of the victims of the Brabant killings received a letter from the federal prosecutor's office inviting them to Brussels on June 28. Their lawyers deduce that the investigation could be closed soon, after 38 years.”

So, for context, l'Ordre du Temple Solaire/OTS or the Order of the Solar Temple/OST in English was founded in 1984 by Luc Jouret (Belgian) and Joseph Di Mambro (French). It is famous for a number of mass suicides/murders of its members and leaders that happened in the late 90s

We'll talk about CEPIC later. To get back to Louf, she can recount seeing Nihoul multiple times in her childhood but one story in particular stands out. Basically, X1 described an unsolved murder case to be the quasi-ritualistic killing of another child, Christine Van Hees

I just watched To Live and Die in L.A. (1985), and the whole movie I kept telling myself “Wow, this is just like the François Affair in Belgium!” (but with counterfeit money instead of drugs)

There are a lot of awful stories recalled by Regina but the reason she called in the first place was because of Nihoul. She remembered that face. She had seen it before and was certain he had abused her, multiple times, at various parties and orgies she was brought to.

Today marks the 39th anniversary of the "Champignonnière (mushroom farm) crime", where 16 year old Christine Van Hees was killed and burned. The murder took place in the basement of an old abandoned house near a mushroom farm in Auderghem, in the Brussels area, Belgium.

Did you know that Marc Dutroux spent some months in a Polish jail? An anonymous Polish police spokesperson said so to the Polish Super Express newspaper, and it was reported in La Dernière Heure in Belgium, on September 6 '96, very early in the investigation.

On November 3rd 2022, Christian Smets, former Belgium's Sûreté de l'État agent, died. He was heavily involved in the Brabant Killings's investigation, being one of the agents that had infiltrated Westland New Post, and the one in charge of Baron Bonvoisin and VDB's CEPIC files
