| 2019-01-31 |
| [IsraelTimes] Belgian prosecutors say they are investigating an apparent attempt to intimidate a lawyer in the trial of a suspect in the 2014 shooting attack at the Brussels Jewish Museum. The Brussels prosecutor’s office say that a baseball bat and false Kalashnikov assault rifle were left on the lawyer’s desk after a theft at his office yesterday . A laptop computer containing the case file of Mehdi Nemmouche, who stands accused of shooting dead four people at the museum, was stolen from the lawyer’s office. State broadcaster RTBF names the lawyer as Vincent Lurquin, who was representing a woman at the museum when the attack happened. Prosecutors say they are investigating the theft and intimidation, described as "threat by symbols." The trial is scheduled to run until March 1. |
