(Brussels Times) The Antwerp Criminal Court on Tuesday postponed the trial against the “Kruger group” to 24 October.
Fifteen radicalized Muslims are on trial in this case for their participation in the activities of a terrorist group. To build up their arsenal, four of them had carried out a violent burglary in Hoboken. With the loot, they reportedly wanted to attack the new police headquarters in Antwerp.
The public prosecutor requested prison sentences of up to 17 years.
The robbery took place on 14 January 2022, when four members of the Kruger group entered a man’s home and attacked him in his bedroom. The victim was beaten so severely that the public prosecutor referred to an act of torture. He had to give the thugs the code to his safe and unlock his computer.
