The mayor of Staden is also under investigation for the same reasons, as are other mayors, and there are probably more that have stayed under the radar.
But everyone keeps their eyes shut and believes corruption is not a big issue and only happens occasionally. Stuff like this happens all the time in all levels of politics.
Is there any political party without scandals?
Corrupt politicians should get life in prison. They are worse for society than drug dealers and murderers.
What’s described here is and was a general practice for as long as I know where investors and building companies bought pieces of land that magically transformed into building area a few years later. It just came down to paying the right civil servant. The mayor doing it blatant like this is just the one up.
So is there a place where we can look at the “vastgoeddeals” made by a mayor in Belgium?
