(Belga) The Court of Appeal in Antwerp has handed down prison sentences of up to six years for the foiled assassination attempt on Belgium’s current prime minister, Bart De Wever. The group’s leader was sentenced to six years in prison and a fine of 16,000 euros, while his four accomplices received prison sentences ranging from 55 months to three years.
“The court sentences the terrorist organisation that prepared an attack on Bart De Wever and a police station in March 2023 to severe effective prison sentences,” the court said on Thursday. The members of the group were convicted of organising a terrorist attack, but acquitted of attempted terrorist murder.
