(Brussels Times) The Belgian state will already have to pay €100,000 to ten children of IS terrorists, as they did not provide them with assistance to get back to Belgium.
The government has received its first bill, via a bailiff, on Tuesday. However, the amount can go up very quickly, as the state has to pay €5,000 per child and per day that it does not help them, and the Department of Foreign Affairs is keeping silent about the case.
Why does Belgium have to pay?
On 11 December 2019, a Brussels court ordered Belgium to repatriate the ten children of four IS terrorists from Antwerp, who were held in the Al Hol camp in Syria.
