Accused in the Dutroux ( X) dossiers, the Maud Sarr and Pink Ballets affairs Christian Amory b. 1952 Source(s): X1 (1 of the 8 persons picked by X1 on September 30, 1996 out of 40 pictures presented to her (how many real pictures there ranges from "several" to about 20). Four of the persons she pointed out intrigued De Baets and seemed to confirm his suspicions that cars of the gendarmerie's Diana Group (similar to SWAT) were involved. However, X1 also misidentified at least three, and maybe four pictures, and this time it really was a mistake (as opposed to all the manipulations by the "re-readers" later on). The X-Dossiers: "X1 identified Madani Bouhouche as the very violent driver of the BMW who took her to 'the factory' [the rape, torture and murder room at the ASCO factory] and Christian Amory as a sort of slave driver who brought her and her fellow victims to recording studios or parks where older men shot at hunted children.") Gendarme officer. Officer in the BOB. Part of Madani Bouhouche's militant Nazi group to some day conduct a terror-extortion campaign against warehouses. Worked in the Walloon-Brabant cell that investigated the Gang of Nijvel (in which he would become a main suspect). Together with the Nazi Jean-Francis Calmette (OAS terrorist; Wackenhut director; instructor at the CIA-NATO-sponsored secret fascist training camps of Front de la Jeunesse in the Ardennes, which were overseen by DIA-NATO agent Paul Latinus, another Nazi) associated with the mercenary firm Contact in Brussels, and its business in Africa. Convicted in 2003, together with Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin and Pierre de Bonvoisin, for having forged KGB documents to prove a "vast left-wing conspiracy" against Benoit involving State Security (which had been targeted by US intelligence and Benoit ever since its head exposed them for cultivating a fascist underground). De Bonvoisin was one the most important player in Belgium's CIA-NATO-linked, fascist, militant underground, and has been accused by X1 and X2 of (extreme) child rape, torture and murder. His immediate associates have been accused by even more witnesses. Gen. Rene Bats b. 1930 Source(s): X1 (when shown pictures, X1 identified Bats as one of her customers); Raemaekers (this convicted untrustworthy paedophile claimed he had met Bats several times at Cercle des Nations. Claimed Bats liked boys and was introduced to him by Jean-Paul Dumont (accused by a number of others of being a sadistic child abuser). Claimed Bats was an acquaintance of Renaud Coppieters 't Wallant (another gay paedophile, according to Raemaekers), who was a member of the PSC, Cercle des Nations, the Lion's Club and the Rotary, and owned an import-export business in Congo) Major-General in the Belgian army. United Nations expert who inspected POW camps in Iran and Iraq after the war between these two countries ended in 1988. The inspection had a special interest in how captured Iraqis might have been brainwashed by the Iranians to support the Ayatollah. Commander of the Order of Leopold. Director of the Order of Leopold since 2000. Gen. Fernand Beaurir unknown Source(s): 1979 Pinon Affair; Maud Sarr (not very reliable, but interestingly mentioned together with Paul Vanden Boeynants and Jean Depretre, who have been accused by other sources as well); Pol Postal (a witness who worked at Institut Dechamps (a private college/university preparatory school for law students). Told how young girls of Institut Dechamps maintained sexual relationships with General Beaurir, how this general abused his owned daughter and how he forced his daughter into supplying him and some of his associates with other girls (PV 150.259/97)). Gendarme General. Educated to become a Gendarme officer during WWII. After taking a Nazi-inspired oath of allegiance, he became a Gendarme officer in Walloon in a unit that fought the resistance. Briefly arrested in the aftermath of WWII for collaboration, but soon released. Eventually rose to corps commandant, the highest position in the Gendarmerie. In 1979, Beaurir's name came up during a search of the homes of Lydia Montaricourt and Fortunato Israel, who ran a prostitution network for high level officials, up to Belgian and Saudi princes, and employees of Adnan Khashoggi. Prosecutor of the king Jean Depretre covered up the whole investigation. May 16, 1997, Tony Van Parys, head of the Gang Commission, to De Standaard about the connections of Fortunato Israel and her follow-up Lydia Montaricourt: "Among their contacts were very highly placed persons: the commandant of the gendarmerie lieutenant-general Fernand Beaurir, arms dealer Roger Boas, and through the latter Paul Vanden Boeynants." These three men all have been accused of child abuse. Became a close associate of Paul Vanden Boeynants and Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin who ran the post-WWII fascist underground in Belgium. Became head of the National Bureau for Drugs (NBD) of the Gendarmerie in 1978. The NBD was created by Paul Vanden Boeynants and General Leon Fernand Francois (invited by the US Army's CID in 1969; educated by the DEA; received by President Nixon; secretary of the International Drug Enforcement Association; founded the gendarmerie's National Bureau for Drugs (NBD) in the 1972-1975 period with Paul "VdB" Vanden Boeynants and CIA support, and became the NBD's initial head; always present at the border when a new large shipment of marihuana and cocaine of VdB's company was smuggled into Belgium; leading member of the subversive and fascist Group G, together with DEA agent Frank Eaton; provided the CIA chief in Belgium with intelligence about leftists and other dissident groups; accused in 1990 by prostitute Maud Sarr of involvement in orgies with minors, together with Paul Vanden Boeynants and Jean Depretre (both accused by other sources as well); one of his successors at the NBD, general Beaurir was also accused of pedophilia and was also part of the CEPIC circle) in the 1972-1975 period. The CIA provided training for the NBD and delivered many, often questionable, informants. In return General Francois would give the CIA chief in Belgium intelligence about leftists and other dissident groups. In 1979, in the Pinon Affair which never became an affair, General Beaurir was named as a person who attended parties at which underaged girls were abused. Others named were Paul Vanden Boeynants, Guy Mathot, Ado Blaton and Prince Albert (later King Albert II). In 1979, a BOB officer began reporting on corruption in the NBD and how top level officers were involved in the drug trade themselves. Internally, nothing was done by Beaurir, or his good friend General Robert "Bob" Bernaert, who was head of the Internal Affairs department of the Gendarmerie (not to mention a member of the Marnixring, a hard-right Dutch-Flemish counterpart to the Rotary and Lion's Club). This led the BOB officer to inform the Justice Department after which all hell broke loose. Francois was arrested in January 1980 and a large public investigation into the NBD began. While interrogating Francois and his NBD associates, two chief investigators, Major Herman Vernaillen and BOB adjutant Guy Goffinon, were told how they couldn't touch their suspects because they were protected by Paul Vanden Boeynants and Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin. On top of that, General Beaurir and other senior Gendarme officers began sabotaging the investigation. In late 1981, Vernaillen and Goffinon received a tip that huge quantities of drugs, hidden inside frozen meat, were smuggled into Belgium. The firm responsible, Boucheries Ghysels, turned out to be chaired and partly-owned by Paul Vanden Boeynants, while General Francois was always present at the border when a new large shipment of marijuana and cocaine of this company was smuggled into Belgium. That these drug transports were going on was already known for three years, but they were never intercepted. It is known that Vanden Boeynants contacted General Beaurir in mid November 1981 to inquire about the drug investigation into his company, although the details of this conversation have remained a closely-guarded secret. Around this time, Goffinon advised the Justice Department to arrest Paul Vanden Boeynants and place drug trafficking charges against him. No action was undertaken. On October 12, 1981, Goffinon survived an assassination attempt. A bomb went off in his car while three other officers were driving in it. Fortunately, only about a third of the bomb went off. The person who had constructed the ignition mechanism, a US fighter pilot named Jean-Francois Buslik, turned out to be a good friend of both US narcotics specialist Frank Eaton and Madani Bouhouche. Vernaillen survived an assassination attempt on October 26 although he, and especially his wife, were badly shot up. Evidence in this failed assassination strongly pointed to involvement of Paul Vanden Boeynants, Jean-Francois Buslik, Madani Bouhouche and the counter-terrorist branch of the Gendarmerie, but as usual no arrests were made. Interesting detail: Vernaillen almost certainly escaped an assassination attempt several hours earlier, because he was riding along in the car of Gendarme officer Joris Vivelle, instead of a regular Gendarme car. Vivelle's son was kidnapped in southern France in 1989 (probably during the summer vacation from June to August) and found back badly mutilated. Several months earlier, in May 1989, Herman Vernaillen, now a Lt.-Col. in the Gendarmerie, supplied Andre Bourgeois, head of an investigating committee, with names of people who back in 1980 were trying to destabilize the Belgium state. This was done in order to bring in a more hard-right government. The names given by Vernaillen included Paul Vanden Boeynants, Jose Desmarets (former PSC vice premier) Jean Militis (special forces Col.; CEPIC; PRL member of parliament), Lt.-Gen. Vivario (Army chief of staff) prosecutor Raymond Charles and General Beaurir. Vernaillen had been given these names in 1980 by Leon Finne, a former CEPIC member and banker who used to be involved in illegal arms sales. Coincidentally, Finne was assassinated by the Gang of Nijvel on September 27, 1985. On November 29, 1989, adjutant Guy Dussart of the BOB in Waverse testified in a closed session of the parliamentary investigating committee that he was approached in December 1985 - March 1986 by two senior high nobility figures who belonged to Opus Dei. They explained to him that at least 9 important members of Opus Dei in addition to several officers and generals of the Gendarmerie and the army were working to destabilize the country and as a result transfer all power to the king. Dussart mentioned the same names as Lieutenant-Colonel Vernaillen, including General Beaurir and Paul Vanden Boeynants (both belonged to Opus Dei). Dussart also said that the aborted 1973 coup, named "l'Ordre Blue", involved some of the same players as the coup prepared in the 1980s. In 1988, examining magistrate Jean-Michel Schlicker, tasked with investigating the Gang of Nijvel, stated that the investigation into the clientele of the Trois Canards inn had been closed down prematurely, because General Beaurir, not to mention Paul Vanden Boeynants, frequently went to eat there. Les Trois Canards had been robbed by Gang of Nijvel members in October 1983. Before leaving, the two robbers took the owner, CEPIC member Jacques van Camp, with them to the parking lot and shot him dead. The bullet that killed van Camp turned out to have come from a Gendarme gun stolen during a Gang of Nijvel robbery two weeks earlier. Interestingly, van Camp was said to have been a good friend of Jacques Fourez and Elise Dewit, CEPIC members and sexclub managers who often frequented his restaurant. Jacques Fourez, Elise Dewit and Van Camp were all believed to have been involved with the so called Pink Ballets (orgies where children were abused). Jacques Fourez and Elise Dewit had been executed by the Gang of Nijvel two weeks before, during the robbery where the gun was stolen that would later kill van Camp. According to X2, her pimp Oliver Castiaux knew Jacques van Camp well. According to Pol Postal, a witness who worked at Institut Dechamps (a private college/university preparatory school for law students), Jean-Paul Dumont (linked to child abuse by X1, X2 and Jacques Thoma), who apparently worked as a teacher at Institut Dechamps in 1981-1982, regularly went to the Trois Canards and attended the funeral of van Camp. Postal also told how young girls of Institut Dechamps maintained sexual relationships with General Beaurir, how this general abused his own daughter and how he forced his daughter into supplying him and some of his associates with other girls (PV 150.259/97). Beaurir is said to have been a member of Opus Dei. Albert Bert 1927-2002 Source(s): X1 (present at child abuse parties with Nihoul, Bouty, Vander Elst, etc.) Took over Cinema Majestic from his father in the 1960s. Turned it into the first dual room movie theater in Belgium in 1970. Opened the Trioscoop (3 screens) in Hasselt in 1971. Opened the Pentascoop (5 screens) in Kortrijk in 1975. Opened the Decascoop (10 screens) in Gent in 1981. Founded Decatron NV in 1981, a firm focused on the development and building of movie theaters. Opened the first megaplex (cinema with more than 16 screens) in the world in Brussels in 1988. Opened Metropolis in Antwerp in 1993. De Bert and Claeys families built two Kinepolis cinemas in 1995 and 1996. The Bert and Claeys families merged their interests in December 1997 under the name Kinepolis Group NV. Kinepolis built movie theaters in Thionville (France), Mulhouse (France), Nimes (France), Schaffhausen (Switzerland), Pioltello (Italy), Madrid (Spain), Valencia (Spain), Poznan (Polen). Chairman of Kinepolis Group NV until his death in 2002. Received the Insead Innovator Prize and was named Manager of the Year by Knack Magazine. Joost Bert b. 1956 Source(s): X1 (present at child abuse parties with Nihoul, Bouty, Vander Elst, etc.) Oldest son of Albert Bert. CEO of Kinepolis Group NV, which has been expanding in Nancy, Oostende and Brugge. Runs marathons. Henri Bil b. 1950 Source(s): X1 (PV 150.889: When about 8 years old, X1 was picked up in the middle of the night by Tony and the driver of VDB, who took her to the ASCO factory for abuse. Nihoul, Anne Bouty, Roger [seemingly Roger Boas, owner of ASCO] and VDB were waiting at the factory.); X2 (said Bil was often in the presence of Lionel Ruth, apparently a gendarme officer later tasked with solving the Gang of Nijvel case. At the Dolo she saw Bil talk to Madani Bouhouche, suspected of having been a member of the Gang of Nijvel and a rapist of X1) Worked at Taxis Metropol, a taxi company. Private driver and confidante of Paul Vanden Boeynants 1971-1978. Did various low profile jobs, mainly for VDB's PSC party. Known to have gone to Pataya, Thailand in June 1994 and bragged he had sex with 14 year old girls there. Others have stated he went as a sex-tourist to Thailand and was very well known to underage prostitutes. Went to St.-Dominique, an island in the West Indies, and Kenya in Africa in 1995. Also went to Tunis in northern Africa. Often went to private clubs in the Netherlands. Was trying to set up an import-export business in tires with his brother in Hungary in January 1995. Claimed he didn't know Nihoul personally, but said he had heard that Nihoul was the right-hand man of Baron de Bonvoisin (PV 39.027). Others have stated that Bil did know Nihoul personally and that he even drove him around sometimes. X1 has stated Bil was an associate of Tony and that he brought them to parties where Nihoul and VDB were. X2 said she saw Bil often in the presence of a Gendarme officer named Lionel Ruth. It's probably no coincidence that a Gendarme officer with the same name was the investigating chief of the Waals-Brabant cell in the 1990s and early 2000s, which was still tasked with solving the Gang of Nijvel case, two decades after its reign of terror. X2 had seen Bil at the Dolo, where Nihoul also went, and saw him speak there with Madani Bouhouche, a chief suspect in the Gang of Nijvel case. Another frequent contact of Bil, according to X2, was Yves Zimmer, head of the sexual abuse department of the Brussels police from 1982 to 1987. Owned four horses and a trailer. Ado Blaton - Source(s): 1979 Pinon Affair Real Estate broker. Together with Charly DePauw he built Parc Savoy where Cercle des Nations was located and people like Michel Nihoul came to party. Member of Cercle des Nations, which was founded in 1969. Together with Charly DePauw he was an investor in Baron Bonoît de Bonvoisin's Promotion & Distribution Générales (PDG) NV, located at the same address as CEPIC. In return for their investments PDG created fake invoices for De Pauw, Blaton, and others. Roger Boas 1938-2006 Source(s): X1 (His ASCO factory in Zaventem is named as a place where videotaped child sacrifices and tortures took place. Participated in some of the abuse) Owner and head of ASCO Industries SA, today a private aerospace contractor with clients that include Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier-Canadair, and Embraer. It is a partner in major aeronautical programs such as Falcon 900 and 2000, Gulfstream V, Mirage 2000, Airbus A380 and almost all of the Airbus- and Boeing-family airplanes. The main components it produces are flaps and slats (wing parts), engine mounts, landing gear components and brake drums. ASCO used be the major arms supplier to the Belgian army and receive government contracts from befriended politicians such as Paul Vanden Boeynants. According to the Boas family, ASCO turned away from arms manufacturing, because of the unstable and unpredictable market, especially in a country with influential socialist policies. Roger was a very close business partner of Paul Vanden Boeynants in the 1970s and 1980s. Roger Boas, together with Paul Vanden Boeynants, Baron Benoît de Bonvoisin, Charly De Pauw, Ado Blaton, and King Albert II (then Prince) were involved in the Eurosystem Hospitalier deal in Saudi-Arabia to build and exploit hospitals for the NATO-trained Saudi National Guard. The deal blew up in 1979 after it was found out that hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes and commissions had been paid. Fortunato Israel, Boas' girlfriend, ran a European-wide prostitution ring, which was used by Boas to reward (potential) business partners. Although Israel was briefly questioned about the Eurosystem affair and her prostitution network, she was never charged with anything. She left Belgium and settled in Malta where she became the executive secretary of a local ASCO branch. This ASCO branch was located on an abandoned British military airport at which Vanden Boeynants established his own meat processing company, Mediterranean Meat Company, somewhere in 1981. VDB's company and ASCO-Malta shared the same address and accountants. Vanden Boeynants at that point was under investigation for his alleged involvement in shipping massive quantities of hard drugs, hidden in frozen meat, into Belgium. Although his arrest was advised by one of the chief investigators in this case, who narrowly escaped an assassination, VDB was never touched. Boas was a member of Cercle des Nations and CEPIC, together with Vanden Boeynants, Baron de Bonvoisin and other extremists. Sentenced to 15 months probation and a fine of 500,000 Belgian franks for forgery and fiscal fraud. Became an officer in the Order of Leopold II in 2004. Today Roger's son Christian is a member of Cercle de Lorraine (expanded follow-up of Cercle des Nations) and CEO of ASCO Industries. Emile Boas is also a member of the board, just as Francis Vermeiren, mayor of Zaventem and an influential right-wing liberal member of parliament; Trudo Motmans, an influential corporate lawyer; and Count Guy de Marnix, head of Private Banking at ING Belgium whose father married into the very noble de Croy family (closely related to the Chimay family, which is accused of having organized child huntings at their private domain). In the 1980s, when still manufacturing and selling weapons, ASCO had Efraim Poran on its board, a high level Israeli military officer and arms dealer who is said to have been a Mossad agent. Paul Vanden Boeynants 1919-2001 Source(s): Mentioned in the 1979 Pinon Affair; Maud Sarr (not very reliable, but she gave other interesting names as well); X1 (one of her most violent abusers, together with Baron de Bonvoisin and the Lippens brothers); X3 (Claimed that Vanden Boeynants and Charly De Pauw arranged hunts on children. Named VdB a major player in the underground child torture network, together with members of the royal family); X4 (1999, The X-Dossiers, p. 327: "Soon in the investigation the names of politicians O. and E. are dropped as 'regular customers'. By that time these had already been pointed out by X1 and X3 as child killers.". Following the system used by the book (reversing of the alphabet; checks out in all earlier instances in the book where "politician E." was also used in the X1 testimony when the real name was Paul Vanden Boeynants), O. is really L. and E. is really V., indicating that the real names are Leopold Lippens (mayor) and Paul Vanden Boeynants. There do not seem to be other possibilities. Only problem: according to the leaked X-Files summary document, X1 and X2 mentioned Lippens and Vanden Boeynants, while X3 only mentioned Vanden Boeynants); Nathalie W. saw Vanden Boeynants at Nihoul's Dolo with a bunch of women, while X2 saw Vdb's confidant and driver (said to have been an abuser of X1) there talking to Madani Bouhouche (said to have been an abuser of X1); close associate of Michel Nihoul in the 1980s. Born in Belgium in 1919. Roman Catholic. Studied at Saint-Michel, a Jesuit college, in the 1930s. Became at some point a member of Opus Dei, just as his (later) good friend Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin. Worked in the business of his father. Already in his early days, VdB was strongly anti-communist and was a big supporter of Rex, a fascist movement that collaborated with the nazis during WWII. Flirted with other Nazi and fascist movements, which brought him in conflict with his father. Joined the PSC in 1948-1949. Founded the Comite for the Revival of the PSC in 1949. Member of Parliament for the Parti Social Chrétien (PSC) 1949-1979. Member of the Commission of Economic Affairs and Middle-class of Parliament since 1949. Member of the Commission of Finance of Parliament since 1950. Had begun a Red-scare campaign in the late 1940s and early 1950s, mirroring the one of Senator Joseph McCarthy in the US. In 1950, during the debates whether or not King Leopold III should remain King of Belgium, Vanden Boeynants made it clear he was a staunch monarchist and supporter of Leopold III. However, Leopold III abdicated in favor of his son Baudouin in 1951 over the controversy that he remained in his country during WWII and visited Hitler in Germany. His second wife was Liliane de Rethy, who has been mentioned by X2 and possible others as being involved in child abuse and murders. During the inauguration of King Baudouin in 1951, someone screamed "Vive la République," which is usually attributed to communist party chairman Julien Lahaut (might have been someone sitting next to him), a long time and very popular politician. VdB went berserk and had to be stopped from physically attacking the communist party at the gathering. A week later, Lahaut was shot in front of his home by two unknown persons. Later on it became known that one of the assassins, "Adolphe", was part of the Belgian Stay-Behind network. Vanden Boeynants became a big supporter of NATO and European integration. Founded Mouvement des Independants et des Cadres (MIC) in 1955, which was meant to neutralize the labor union wing of the PSC. Minister of the Middle-Classes 1958-1961. Gave his good friend Aldo Vastapane a monopoly on tobacco-free stores at the new airport of Zaventem during this time. Asked Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin to realign the PSC during this time. X3 has claimed that Vanden Boeynants was already involved in hideous child sacrifice during this time, together with members of the royal family and Charly De Pauw. Vanden Boeynants once said: "The worst moment during my career was the period of the strikes '60-'61. Then I thought we had come to the end of normal political history and that we had entered back into adventure." These strikes were not supported by the labor unions. Chairman of the PSC 1961-1966. Belgian Prime Minister 1966-1968. Appointed the honorary title of Minister of State in 1969. One of the most prominent members of the World Trade Center Club of Belgium in Brussels, and handed the contract to build this business complex mainly to Charly De Pauw and Ado Blaton. One of the primary founders of the aristocratic and fascist Cercle des Nations in 1969, together with Baron de Bonvoisin and Paul Vankerkhoven (close associate of Otto von Habsburg; CEPIC; founded the Belgian branch of the WACL). Jean Violet (connected to the Synarchist Movement of Empire through the fascist CSAR; Opus Dei; French intelligence; close associate of Otto von Habsburg; founder of the international private intelligence group Le Cercle, which was visited by CIA directors and other virulent anti-communist US covert warfare experts) became one of the few French members of Cercle des Nations. Involved with the fascist Nouvel Europe Magazine (NEM), which was founded in 1971 and funded by Baron de Bonvoisin. Around this magazine a bunch of fascist NEM-Clubs were set up, starting in 1972, which began preparing a coup. Together with Baron de Bonvoisin, Vanden Boeynants was a key founder of CEPIC in 1972, which was a continuation of Mouvement des Independants et des Cadres (MIC), founded in 1955 by Vanden Boeynants. It had the same purpose of neutralizing the PSC's pro-labour aspects and was highly fascist. Belgian Minister of Defense 1972-1978. With Baron de Bonvoisin involved in the aborted 1973 coup. In 1979, VdB's name was linked to Fortunato Israel, the mistress of Roger Boas who headed a European-wide prostitution network. May 16, 1997, Tony Van Parys, head of the Gang Commission, to De Standaard about the connections of Fortunato Israel and her follow-up Lydia Montaricourt: "Among their contacts were very highly placed persons: the commandant of the gendarmerie lieutenant-general Fernand Beaurir, arms dealer Roger Boas, and through the latter Paul Vanden Boeynants." Vanden Boeynants and General Leon Fernand Francois (invited by the US Army's CID in 1969; educated by the DEA; received by President Nixon; secretary of the International Drug Enforcement Association; always present at the border when a new large shipment of marijuana and cocaine of VdB's company was smuggled into Belgium; member Group G, Belgium's fascist fifth column) largely created the National Bureau for Drugs (NBD) of the Gendarmerie in the 1972-1975 period. The CIA provided training for the NBD and delivered many, often questionable, informants. In return General Francois would give the CIA chief in Belgium intelligence about leftists and other dissident groups. General Fernand Beaurir, accused of pedophilia by different sources, became head of the NBD in 1978. In 1979, a BOB officer began reporting on corruption in the NBD and how top level officers were involved in the drug trade themselves. General Francois, for example, was always present at the border when a new large shipment of marijuana and cocaine of Vanden Boeynants' company Boucheries Ghysels was smuggled into Belgium. That these drug transports were going on was already known for three years, but they were never intercepted. General Francois was arrested in January 1980 and a large public investigation into the NBD began. While interrogating Francois and his NBD associates, two chief investigators, Major Herman Vernaillen and BOB adjutant Guy Goffinon, were told how they couldn't touch their suspects because they were protected by prime minister Paul Vanden Boeynants and Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin, both members of the fascist CEPIC and Cercle des Nations organizations. On top of that, General Beaurir, a Nazi-sympathizing buddy of Vanden Boeynants, and other senior Gendarme officers began sabotaging the investigation. The investigators did not back down, and Goffinon even advised that Vanden Boeynants be arrested on charges of drug trade. On October 12, 1981 there was a failed assassination attempt on Goffinon, followed on October 26 by a failed attempt on Vernaillen (he and his wife were badly shot up. His wife ended up being 40% paralyzed). It soon turned out that pilot and DEA agent Jean-Francois Buslik, a long time friend of Madani Bouhouche and also a friend of DEA narcotics specialist Frank Eaton (both top players in Belgium's NATO-sponsored fascist fifth column), had manufactured the timing mechanism of the explosive. Bombs with similar unusual timing mechanisms were later found in a storage space located in the same street where Paul Latinus and Martial Leukeu lived (other top players in Belgium's NATO-sponsored fascist fifth column, financed by CEPIC). Vanden Boeynants, Buslik and Bouhouche were (also) tied to the assassination attempt on Vernaillen. Founded the Public Information Office (PIO) in 1974, a fascist "personal" Military Intelligence group that spied on journalists that had a negative attitude towards the Vanden Boeynants gang. It also infiltrated many right-wing organizations and local templar orders to push for pro-military-industrial complex policies. De Bonvoisin and Vanden Boeynants made sure that major Jean Bougerol (SDRA Military Intelligence officer; crucial figure in the aborted 1973 coup; became head of PIO in 1974 with the blessing of Paul Vanden Boeynants and Baron de Bonvoisin; gave orders to Francis Dossogne, head of Front de la Jeunesse and Group G, and an employee of de Bonvoisin; traveled with CEPIC director Bernard Mercier in 1975 to Spain to attend the funeral of Franco; editor in chief of INFOREP 1976-1978, an anti-communist propaganda magazine aimed at party leaders; spoke at NEM-Clubs; member of the Confrerie des Hospitaliers de Notre-Dame d'Aulne, together with co-PIO agent Commandant Claude Dery) became head of PIO, and both men cold regularly be found at PIO headquarters. Lieutenant-general Roman, chief of staff of the Belgian Army, was Bougerol's superior and another political ally of de Bonvoisin and Vanden Boeynants. Bougerol gave orders to Francis Dossogne (paid "advisor" to Baron de Bonvoisin; took his orders from Army Intelligence major Jean Bougerol, head of PIO and personally picked by Vanden Boeynants and Baron de Bonvoisin; another "private detective"; director of CIDEP, publisher of the fascist NEM magazine; good friend Jean Bultot, who is closely tied to the Gang of Nijvel; gave permission to Paul Latinus in '78-'79 to reorganize the Brussels department of Front de la Jeunesse; according to Martial Lekeu, Dossogne, Latinus and DEA agent Frank Eaton were leaders of Group G, a Nazi-inspired NATO-sanctioned parallel organization within the Gendarmerie), an employee of de Bonvoisin's PDG and leader of the fascist Front de la Jeunesse and Group G. After the death of CEPIC in 1981, PIO was reorganized into the possibly even more influential European Institute of Management (EIM). Col. Rene Mayerus, a good friend of Major Jean Bougerol (the protege of de Bonvoisin and Vanden Boeynants and accused by X1 of being involved in the child abuse network) became administrative-director of EIM. Within 6 months of its founding, the new head of EIM became Douglas MacArthur II (born in 1909; Episcopalian; nephew of the famous general; member Yale Wolf's head society; ambassador to Paris 1938-1940; ambassador to the Fascist Vichy government 1940-1942; held in Nazi internment for 16 months after Petain broke off relations with the US in 1942; member General Eisenhower's SHAEF staff in 1944; ambassador to Italy 1944-1948; became chief of the State Department's Division of European Affairs in 1949; political advisor to SHAPE headquarters in France 1951-1952; counselor US Department State in Washington 1953-1957; member CFR from the 1950s to the late 1980s; ambassador to Japan in Tokyo 1957-1961; ambassador to Brussels 1961-1965; assistant secretary of state and head of the State Department's Bureau of Congressional Relations 1965-1967; ambassador to Austria 1967-1969; ambassador to Iran during the Shah's reign 1969-1972 (retired after evading a kidnapping attempt); independent international affairs consultant in Washington 1972-1997; director Banque Bruxelles Lambert; since 1981, chair of the European Institute of Management (EIM), a privatized fascist army intelligence group which tried to undermine the Belgian democratic process and appears to have been at the center of a child abuse, torture and murder ring; member of the editorial advisory board of The Washington Times since Sun Myung Moon founded it in 1982; chaired Moon's World Media Conference in Tokyo in the mid-1980s; openly supported the Women's Federation for World Peace when Moon founded it in 1987; founding chair of Sun Myung Moon-funded Panda Motor Corp in China since 1988, a company that went bankrupt within a few years (October 16, 1989, Daily Herald, 'Moon-backed Panda car drives into skepticism of auto industry'); his uncle Douglas MacArthur saved Moon during the invasion of Korea; big supporter of the UN's Temple of Understanding; died in 1997). Minister of Brussels Affairs 1974-1978. A 1976 report from BOB officer Roger Tratsaert stated that there was a silent right wing coup in preparation in Belgium, which was centered on Nouvelle Europe Magazine and (ex-) officers from the military. Jean Bougerol, sponsored by lieutenant-general Roman, was a coordinating figure in this plot (including the aborted 1973 coup), just as Count Arnould de Briey, a public official who was married to co-Bilderberg founder Paul van Zeeland's daughter. Chairman of CEPIC 1977-1979 with de Bonvoisin being treasurer. In May 1989, Lt.-Col. Herman Vernaillen of the Gendarmerie supplied Andre Bourgeois, head of an investigating committee, with names of people who back in 1980 were trying to destabilize the Belgium state. This was done in order to bring in a more hard-right government. The names given by Vernaillen included Paul Vanden Boeynants, Jose Desmarets (former PSC vice premier) Jean Militis (special forces Col.; CEPIC; PRL member of parliament), Lt.-Gen. Vivario (Army chief of staff) prosecutor Raymond Charles and General Beaurir. Vernaillen had been given these names in 1980 by Leon Finne, a former CEPIC member and banker who used to be involved in illegal arms sales. Coincidentally, Finne was assassinated by the Gang of Nijvel on September 27, 1985. On November 29, 1989, adjutant Guy Dussart of the BOB in Waverse testified in a closed session of the parliamentary investigating committee that he was approached in December 1985 - March 1986 by two senior high nobility figures who belonged to Opus Dei. They explained to him that at least 9 important members of Opus Dei in addition to several officers and generals of the Gendarmerie and the army were working to destabilize the country and as a result transfer all power to the king. Dussart mentioned the same names as Lieutenant-Colonel Vernaillen, including General Beaurir and Paul Vanden Boeynants (both belonged to Opus Dei). Dussart also said that the aborted 1973 coup, named "l'Ordre Blue", involved some of the same players as the coup prepared in the 1980s. There also was a report that the conspirators had organized several meetings at Castle Dongelberg, owned by Opus Dei. X2 later claimed that children had been abused at Dongelberg, while Nathalie W. also mentioned the castle in her testimony. Vanden Boeynants was again Belgian Prime Minister 1978-1979. Chairman of the PSC 1979-1981. In 1979, in the Pinon Affair which never became an affair, Vanden Boeynants was named as a person who attended parties at which underaged girls were abused. Others named were General Beaurir, Guy Mathot, Ado Blaton and Prince Albert (later King Albert II). Jacques Jonet, a fascist lawyer who used to be a political secretary to Otto von Habsburg and reportedly was close to Vanden Boeynants, was later accused of having warned an editor of Pour (Magazine) not to publish details about the affair. A week later members of Front de la Jeunesse burnt down the headquarters of Pour. Through prominent CEPIC member and Annie Bouty law partner Philippe Deleuze, Nihoul first met Vanden Boeynants in November 1981 at PSC headquarters in Brussels. He discussed with Vanden Boeynants an aspect of the Centre Medical de l'Est (CME) affair. PV 42.665, October 14, 1996 (testimony of Guy Einsweiller or Eschweiler): "Remembers Nihoul (fish trade near the PAVAN transport enterprise where he works. 108/11O Avenue du Port 1000, Brussels). During a deal, he saw Dumont drinking a glass with Nihoul. Sometimes saw Nihoul at the restaurant Mayflower in Koekelberg... declared to have regularly seen Dumont and Vanden Boeynants in the private area of the fish and crustacean enterprise that he exploited. [early 1990s]" According to Jozef De Poorter, head of construction firm VDK, which he took over from Arthur Vande Kerkhove after this person died, Vande Kerkhove was a great fan of orgies, which he attended with Paul Vanden Boeynants and Nihoul (T.3518/96, February 3, 2000). 1999, Marie-Jeanne Van Heeswyck, Annemie Bulte and Douglas De Coninck, 'De X-dossiers' p. 116-118: "Edouard Nihoul, the Brussels PRL-politician and royal court supplier of cake and pastry, has similar experiences. The confectioner shouts from the rooftops in late 1996 that he is not family, but the by Michel Nihoul himself spread rumor seems inextinguishable... Edouard Nihoul, the unfortunate confectioner, at the time was chairman of the CEPIC in Brussels. 'Michel Nihoul helped during election campaigns. At a certain moment, Vanden Boeynants couldn't stand him anymore. I've read that he now denies to ever have had something to do with Vanden Boeynants. I have to laugh about that.'" Together with other directors of CEPIC, VdB wrote letters of recommendation for Paul Latinus (Nazi; recruited by the DIA in 1967, age 17; trained by NATO; reserve lieutenant with the Air Force; paid informant of State Security; recruited as an intelligence agent by PIO in 1977; recommended everywhere by the CEPIC leadership; member Front de la Jeunesse; founder Westland New Post (WNP) in 1981; named as one of the leaders of Group G; suicided in 1984). Founded the Mediterranean Meat Company around 1981, located in Malta on an abandoned British military airport. It shared offices and accountants with ASCO-Malta, the aerospace/arms company of his friend Roger Boas. X1 claimed she had regularly been taken to a snuff studio located in the factory of ASCO-Belgium. Vanden Boeynants was among those she had seen there. Boas had access to an international network of prostitutes through Fortunato Israel, his mistress and employee. He used this network to tempt and reward customers and intermediaries with, among them Vanden Boeynants. Back in the days when Vanden Boeynants was prime- and defense minister, foreign arms corporations knew they had to include ASCO in every single contract if they wanted to work with the Belgians. Adnan Khashoggi, who had an office in Brussels for his firm Triad, was a close associate of Vanden Boeynants. CEPIC disbanded in 1981, soon after their connections to the NEM-clubs and Front de la Jeunesse were found out about. Excerpts of the 1981 confidential State Security memo (translated from Dutch): "It was determined that certain members of the board of the C.E.P.I.C. (x) in the past have lent their cooperated to the publication and the editorial office of NEM, were part of the NEM-clubs of the F.J. [Front de la Jeunesse] and maintained contact with board members or supporters of the two latter mentioned groups. Amongst others, it concerns: Jean Breydel, secretary-general of the C.E.P.I.C., Benoit de Bonvoisin, treasurer of the C.E.P.I.C., Joseph (Jo) Gerard, Paul Van Kerkhoven, Joseph Franz and Bernard Mercier. The board, the administration and the editorial office of the NEM, which has been published under this name since 1971 by the "Compagnie Internationale des Editions Populaires" (C.I.D.E.P.), is located at no. 5 of the Dekenstraat in Brussels... Furthermore, at this address was located the secretariat of the 1972 founded NEM-clubs, as well, until 1978, the seat of F.J.... The seat of C.E.P.I.C. is located at no. 39 of the Belliardstraat in Brussels. This building also contains the Belliard auditorium, the seat of "Mouvement d'Action pour l'Unite Europeenne" (xx), just as the offices of the "Societe de Promotion et de la Distribution Generale" (P.D.G.), supervised, through a go-between, by Benoit de Bonvoisin... The NEM is supported by Benoit de Bonvoisin, who pays the rent of the in the Dekensstraat located offices and hires the editor in chief as an advisor... Francis Dossogne, head of the F.J., was paid in the same way, until he left the NEM. The partnership P.D.G., and consequently de Bonvoisin, through a go-between finances the magazine "INFOREP" which claims to be a "daily paper for party leaders", but in reality is a bi-language magazine with strong anti-communist leanings. From 1976 to 1978 its editor in chief was Major Jean Bougerol, a higher career officer working for the headquarters of the domestic armed forces. Jean Bougerol has spoken at lectures organized by the NEM-clubs... This officer, who keeps in close contact with Bernard Mercier, board member of the C.E.P.I.C., was mentioned as one of the organizers of the transport from Antwerp to the seat of the C.E.P.I.C. in Brussels of a wanted neo-nazi terrorist. This person had to be taken by Bernard Mercier to a domain in the Ardennes belonging to de Bonvoisin and subsequently to France. The German was intercepted by State Security during the trip from Antwerp to Brussels... According to unverifiable sources the F.J. would have approached several foreign governments and opposition-movements for financial support." In the mid-1980s, former BOB officers Madani Bouhouche and Robert "Bob" Beyer were in the possession of a whole database of sensitive info on prominent politicians. They had stolen this before leaving the BOB in 1983 and tried to sell the information to two prominent politicians: Paul Vanden Boeynants (couldn't remember this fact. Only remembered he had declined an offer of Bouhouche to steal incriminating files against his person) and Minister of Justice Philippe Moureaux (accused by The Sprout of having been present at the murder of Julie and Melissa, together with Cardinal Danneels) (confirmed it had been offered to him and that he declined the offer). February 27, 1988, De Morgen, Francois Raes (BOB officer and whistleblower who exposed NBD highest level drug dealing) commentary: "Isn't that story of these two ministers strange? They are contacted to buy secret information and they don't inform a single police service. At the very least that's a lack of civil goodwill." In 1986, Vanden Boeynants was convicted for more than 100 counts of tax evasion and forgery of documents from 1967 to 1982 in which he personally made $4.4 million. He was sentenced to a suspended three-year jail term and a fine of $13,600. Kidnapped by the "Socialist Revolutionary Brigade" from mid-January to mid-February 1989, and released after paying a ransom. It later turned out that the gang of Patrick Haemers was behind the kidnapping. February 12, 1989, Houston Chronicle, 'Mystery surrounds Belgium abduction': "One of Belgium's most popular politicians, two-time Prime Minister Paul Vanden Boeynants, was kidnapped Jan. 14 from his apartment building by a group calling itself the Socialist Revolutionary Brigade. Or maybe not. "Let's put it this way," said a non-European diplomat based here, "We have strong doubts that things happened the way they said." One reason for the skepticism is that Vanden Boeynants, 69, was convicted of tax evasion two years ago by a judge who called him an "inveterate cheat.'' He was being investigated once again, this time for receiving kickbacks between 1972-79 while he was Belgium's defense minister... Even after his conviction, Van Boeynants received more votes than anyone else in recent city elections and was in line to become mayor of Brussels. He reluctantly turned the job down under pressure from Prime Minister Wilfried Martens, who is said to have balked at the idea of a convicted man - he received a three-year suspended sentence - being chief executive of the city."... Vanden Boeynants is an honest man, said his former aide in the ministry of defense, retired Gen. Jules Everaert." Everaert (chairman of Pro Belgica 1989-1993; one of his two predecessors here was Prince Francois de Merode, from 1975-1983) was a close friend and tennis partner of Vanden Boeynants. March 25, 1989, Washington Post, 'Belgians arrest kidnapping suspect': "The lawyer of an alleged gang leader being hunted for the kidnapping of a former Belgian prime minister has been arrested on suspicion of masterminding the abduction, the prosecutor's office said today Michel Vander Elst, 41, was placed under arrest after nine hours of questioning on suspicion of being "the author, coauthor or an accomplice in the kidnap" of Paul Vanden Boeynants, a spokesman said. Other accusations included extortion and forgery... Vander Elst represents Patrick Haemers, 36, the alleged leader of a gang being sought by police for a string of unsolved violent crimes. Vanden Boeynants was snatched in the garage of his Brussels home Jan. 14 and released a month later after a ransom payment of up to $2.5 million. The spokesman charged that Vander Elst had seen some of the suspected kidnapers after they had rented a villa in the northern French resort of Le Touquet, where Vanden Boeynants was held for a month. He said the lawyer also had received calls from public booths in Le Touquet." Vander Elst has been named by X1 as one of her abusers and torturers, alongside Michel Nihoul and Paul Vanden Boeynants. In 1996, Vander Elst provided a (false) alibi for Nihoul while this person was investigated for having been seen at the location where Laetitia was kidnapped by Dutroux. Patrick Haemers and his father were involved with people like Nihoul and members of the fascist underground. Haemers committed suicide in jail in May 1993, several days after his sidekicks in the Vanden Boeynants kidnapping escaped from jail (and were caught again). Vanden Boeynants did a lot of his shady business transactions through Caisse Privee Banque of the very noble d'Ursel family (intermarried with de Bonvoisin and accused by X1 of serious child abuse). The Haemers gang was also involved with this bank through one of the bank's directors, Jean Cruysmans, who regularly visited CEPIC. Vanden Boeynants burnt his private archives in 1995. Honored by the Order of Leopold II, the Order of St. Michael and St. George, the Order of Orange Nassau, the Vatican's Order of St. Sylvester, and many others. On August 20, 1997, Commandant Duterme of the BOB internally decided to sack De Baets and his team, who had been working with X1, one of the witnesses that accused Vanden Boeynants of having raped and tortured her. The weekly magazine Pan, headed by Paul Vanden Boeynants, joyously reported on August 21 that De Baets and his team had been removed from Neufchateau. Interestingly, the investigators themselves were only told about their removal on August 25, by Col. Brabant, who had recently sanctioned a media campaign against Nathalie W. by the same re-readers. Nathalie W. claimed to have seen Vanden Boeynants at the Dolo, tying him to Nihoul's favorite club. Other research turned up that Nihoul first met Vanden Boeynants in November 1981 at PSC headquarters in Brussels. He discussed with Vanden Boeynants an aspect of the Centre Medical de l'Est (CME) affair. They kept in touch over the years. 1999, Marie-Jeanne Van Heeswyck, Annemie Bulte and Douglas De Coninck, 'De X-dossiers' p. 116-118: "Edouard Nihoul, the Brussels PRL-politician and royal court supplier of cake and pastry, has similar experiences.

Vanden Boeynants' old CEPIC friend Baron de Bonvoisin (also accused of child abuse) began a slander campaign against De Baets around the time that his team was removed from Neufchateau. Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin b. 1939 Source(s): X1 (One of her most violent abusers, together with Paul Vanden Boeynants and the Lippens brothers; central person in the child hunts); X2 (Present at sex parties in a castle near Eindhoven in the Netherlands, together with Jean-Paul Dumont and many others; present at smaller child abuse parties where girls were tortured in Paul Bourlee's residence at Faulx-Les-Tombes (very close to the castle of de Bonvoisin); went to Le Mirano where he was involved in child abuse parties where cocaine was distributed; went hunting with a number of others during which underaged girls were raped and abused).



Added in 2008: Declaration of an anonymous witness to the Belgian Judiciary, October 12, 199x, (copy for Neufchateau cell): "Event: Witness her husband, who has passed away, received an invitation for a party at a castle in the neighborhood of ATH. Former minister DESCHAMPS [sic] and Baron de BONVOISIN were present there. At a certain point children of approximately 10 years of age were brought in. These were then abused by the guests present. The husband of the witness didn’t know this would happen and left the place because he didn’t want to participate in it … Date of the event: About 4 years ago."; Declaration of Dany Lefrant to the Belgian Judiciary, October 13, 199x, (copy for Neufchateau cell): "Pink Ballets [normally refers to underaged children being present] with STIERS Steeve, VAN DEN BROECK Franck, the Baron Bonvoisin, SPITAELS Guy, Frans Reyneers, bar le cancan [the bar where Elio Di Rupo, according to Cancan's owners, went to pick up students]. This happened more or less 7 years ago."; Declaration of Danielle Lagae to the Belgian Judiciary, October 16, 199x, (copy for Neufchateau cell): "Victim of sexual abuse (contacts) at the age of - 5, by Jean Jacques ROLAND... - 12, by Jean Marie HUCHET... [mentions several names, including "Mr. DEBONVOISIN"]... the father knew and regularly met these people... Happened in the 1970s."; In the second half of the 16th century, Jehan de Bonvoisin received land from his father, a descendant of an ancient House of landed gentry. From the outset of the 17th century, the family developed the textile industry in the region of Verviers, where its members also held positions in public office. Baron Pierre de Bonvoisin (1903-1982) was the father of Benoît. Pierre was an Economics professor at the University of Louvain. Married Elizabeth Galopin, a granddaughter of Alexandre Galopin (1879-1944). Before and during WWII, Galopin was head of Union Minière in Congo and Société Générale de Belgique. King Leopold III had chosen Galopin to reorganize the Belgian economy after the German invasion. The official story goes that several months before the allies invaded Normandy, Galopin gained access to a list of industrialists who worked with the Nazis. On February 28, 1944, he was assassinated. Pierre was a director of Société Générale de Belgique from 1951 to 1962. In 1954, Pierre de Bonvoisin attended the first Bilderberg Conference along with Paul van Zeeland (son-in-law has been named a key plotter in the aborted 1973 fascist coup in Belgium, together with an agent of Vanden Boeynants and Benoit de Bonvoisin, Army Major Jean Bougerol). He attended several other Bilderberg conferences. Chairman of the Banque du Congo Belge. President of the Belgian International Chamber of Commerce. Co-founder of l'Institut International d'Etudes Bancaires (IIEB), which is part of IMF and still meeting today. Director of Companhia de Diamantes de Angola (Diamang), which had a monopoly on the diamond supply of Angola. Others on the board of Diamang were Harry Oppenheimer of Anglo-American and other people from De Beers. Chairman of the Belgian League of Multiple Sclerosis. One of the counsellors of King Baudouin. Benoit was born in 1939. Graduated in philosophy from the University of Louvain. Benoit's sister Marie-Cecile married Count Herve d'Ursel (b. 1930) in 1959. Benoit's other sister Marie Francoise de Bonvoisin (b. 1949) married Prince Bernard de Merode (b. 1949) in 1974 and became a princess. The d'Ursel (especially another branch) and de Merode families are among the most noble families in Belgium. Both families, not unlike de Bonvoisin himself, have been implicated in child abuse networks, just as a large number of their associates. Bernard de Merode works for a firm these days which is headed by two senior retired MI5 officials. Benoit was called upon by the Belgian Minister for the Middle Classes, Paul Vanden Boeynants, in the early 1960s, to realign the Social Christian Party (PSC). Involved with the World Anti-Communist League (WACL). Named as a member of Opus Dei, just as Paul Vanden Boeynants. One of the primary founders of the aristocratic and fascist Cercle des Nations in 1969, together with Paul Vanden Boeynants and Paul Vankerkhoven (close associate of Otto von Habsburg; CEPIC; founded the Belgian branch of the WACL). Jean Violet (connected to the Synarchist Movement of Empire through the fascist CSAR; Opus Dei; French intelligence; close associate of Otto von Habsburg; founder of the international private intelligence group Le Cercle, which was visited by CIA directors and other virulent anti-communist US covert warfare experts) became one of the few French members of Cercle des Nations. Financed the fascist Nouvel Europe Magazine (NEM), which was founded in 1971 and counted the involvement of Paul Vanden Boeynants. Around this magazine a bunch of fascist NEM-Clubs were set up, starting in 1972, which began preparing a coup. Together with Paul Vanden Boeynants, Baron de Bonvoisin was a key founder of CEPIC in 1972, which was a continuation of Mouvement des Independants et des Cadres (MIC), founded in 1955 by Vanden Boeynants. It had the same purpose of neutralizing the PSC's pro-labour aspects and was highly fascist. Political advisor to Paul Vanden Boeynants in the 1970s. With Paul Vanden Boeynants involved in the aborted 1973 coup. Set up the fascist Parti des Forces Nouvelles in the 1974-1975 period, together with Emile Lecerf and first chairman Albert Lambert. It became the political front of his private militia Front de la Jeunesse, which was founded in the same period. The first congress of Forces Nouvelles was held at the CEPIC headquarters on November 23, 1975. Around the same time Lecerf organized a meeting at the castle of Baron de Bonvoisin in which a number of fascist leaders from Europe were brought together. Represented were the MSI from Italy, the French branch of Parti des Forces Nouvelles, the National Front from Britain and Fuerza Nueva from Spain. Francis Dossogne, head of Front de la Jeunesses by this time, also attended. Arranged a meeting of European Nazis and other fascists in his castle in late 1975. Treasurer of CEPIC since 1976. Had his own company, Societe de Promotion & Distribution Generales NV (PDG), which shared the same building with CEPIC headquarters (actually two buildings, but a corridor was built between them). The main investors in PDG were Charly De Pauw, Ado Blaton, and other businessmen involved in building the World Trade Center and Parc Savoy in Brussels. In return for their investments PDG created fake invoices for them. These people, together with King Albert II (then Prince), Fortunato Israel (ran a European-wide prostitution ring; mistress of Roger Boas), and Roger Boas (owner of arms manufacturer/aerospace company ASCO, which allegedly harbored a child torture and abuse studio), were also involved in the Eurosystem Hospitalier deal in Saudi-Arabia, which blew up in 1979 due the hundreds of millions of dollars used for briberies and commissions. De Bonvoisin arranged the takeover of Bâtiments et Ponts, Ado Blaton's company that was primarily responsible for building Parc Savoy, by the French firm Générale des Eaux in 1988. Shareholder of Parc Savoy, which is where Cercle des Nations was located. Benoit was one of the key persons in financing, through CEPIC and PDG, the fascist Front de la Jeunesse. Front de la Jeunesse was the private militia of the in 1974 established Parti des Forces Nouvelles. It was headed by Francis Dossogne (paid "advisor" to Baron de Bonvoisin; took his orders from Army Intelligence major Jean Bougerol, head of PIO and personally picked by Vanden Boeynants and Baron de Bonvoisin; another "private detective"; director of CIDEP, publisher of the fascist NEM magazine; good friend Jean Bultot, who is closely tied to the Gang of Nijvel; gave permission to Paul Latinus in '78-'79 to reorganize the Brussels department of Front de la Jeunesse; according to Martial Lekeu, Dossogne, Latinus and DEA agent Frank Eaton were leaders of Group G, a Nazi-inspired NATO-sanctioned parallel organization within the Gendarmerie). Members of Front de la Jeunesse included Paul Latinus (Nazi; recruited by the DIA in 1967, age 17; trained by NATO; reserve lieutenant with the Air Force; paid informant of State Security; recruited as an intelligence agent by PIO in 1977; recommended everywhere by the CEPIC leadership; member Front de la Jeunesse; founder Westland New Post in 1981; recruited as a police informant by the questionable Georges Marnette; suicided in 1984) and Marcel Barbier (Wackenhut employee since before 1981; recruited as a guard at European Institute of Management (EIM) around 1981, the follow-up of the shady Belgium military-intelligence unit PIO, since 1981 headed by Douglas MacArthur II; co-founded Westland New Post (WNP) with Latinus in 1981, and became head of its security section (seen as Latinus' right-hand); when police searched Barbier's apartment for unrelated reasons, they found it filled with Nazi symbols and literature, weapons, papers that allowed him entrance to the barracks of the general staff of the Army in Evere, and a whole batch of secret NATO documents; his lawyer at that point became Vincent vanden Bossche, who represented other fascists and was a member of Cercle des Nations and Ordre du Rouvre, was named as someone involved in the cover-up of the Pinon child abuse affair; convicted in 1987 for a double WNP-organized murder, in which Barbier had slit the victim's throats). Front de la Jeunesse had secret paramilitary training camps in the Ardennes. Among the instructors of the training camps were Madani Bouhouche (Nazi; BOB officer until 1983; caught spying on his colleagues; leading figure in the Practical Shooting Association; friend and partner-in-crime of such men as Christian Amory, Bob Beyer and Jean Bultot; went to the Jonathan; convicted criminal and murderer; member Group G and involved in actions to destabilize Belgium; member Westland New Post) and Jean-Francis Calmette (joined the terrorist OAS, which tried to assassinate de Gaulle and destabilize Algeria; director of Wackenhut Belgium until 1981 (since 1977 allowed in Belgium; does dirty black ops for CIA, DEA, etc.; had to leave Belgium in early 1980s after some of its guards were accused of luring immigrant children into basements and beating them up), and recruited Marcel Barbier and Eric Lammers; set up the Nazi militia 'Nouvelle Sparte'; full-contact karate teacher and taught this sport to Group Diana of the Gendarmerie; all round security expert; secretly hired mercenaries for South-Africa and hired a farm to train them; together with Christian Amory associated with the mercenary firm Contact in Brussels; went to the Jonathan; instructor at the secret fascist training camps of Front de la Jeunesse in the Ardennes, which were protected by NATO and overseen by DIA-NATO agent Paul Latinus, another fascist; member of Westland New Post (WNP), headed by Latinus; head of security of the annual ball of the PSC in 1980, headed by Paul Vanden Boeynants at the time; manager of the Brussels sports club BIBKA). Together with Paul Vanden Boeynants, de Bonvoisin founded the Army's Public Information Office in 1974, a fascist "personal" Military Intelligence group that spied on journalists that had a negative attitude towards the Vanden Boeynants gang. It also infiltrated many right-wing organizations and local templar orders to push for pro-military-industrial complex policies. De Bonvoisin and Vanden Boeynants made sure that major Jean-Marie Bougerol (SDRA Military Intelligence officer; crucial figure in the aborted 1973 coup; became head of PIO in 1974 with the blessing of Paul Vanden Boeynants and Baron de Bonvoisin; gave orders to Francis Dossogne, head of Front de la Jeunesse and Group G, and an employee of de Bonvoisin; traveled with CEPIC director Bernard Mercier in 1975 to Spain to attend the funeral of Franco; editor in chief of INFOREP 1976-1978, an anti-communist propaganda magazine aimed at party leaders; spoke at NEM-Clubs; member of the Confrerie des Hospitaliers de Notre-Dame d'Aulne, together with co-PIO agent Commandant Claude Dery) became head of PIO, and both men cold regularly be found at PIO headquarters. Lieutenant-general Pierre Roman, chief of staff of the Belgian Army, was Bougerol's superior and another political ally of de Bonvoisin and Vanden Boeynants. Bougerol gave orders to Francis Dossogne, an employee of de Bonvoisin and leader of the fascist Front de la Jeunesse and the subversive Group G. The latter was a Nazi-inspired NATO-sanctioned parallel organization which recruited from the Gendarmerie, although it was headed by leading members of private groups as Front de la Jeunesse and WNP. Similar cells were located in the Army, the Universite Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), the Royal Military School, the Mobile Legion, the Special Intervention Squadron (Diana Group), the narcotics section of the BOB and different other branches of the Gendarmerie. Most members of a particular cell did not know about the others and Nazi-fascist infiltration could have been much larger than the estimated 60 recruits. A 1976 report from BOB officer Roger Tratsaert stated that there was a silent right wing coup in preparation in Belgium, which was centered on Nouvelle Europe Magazine and (ex-) officers from the military. Major Jean Bougerol, sponsored by lieutenant-general Roman, Paul Vanden Boeynants and Baron de Bonvoisin, was a coordinating figure in this plot (including the aborted 1973 coup), just as Count Arnould de Briey, a public official who was married to co-Bilderberg founder Paul van Zeeland's daughter. In May 1989, Lt.-Col. Herman Vernaillen of the Gendarmerie supplied Andre Bourgeois, head of an investigating committee, with names of people who back in 1980 were trying to destabilize the Belgium state. This was done in order to bring in a more hard-right government. The names given by Vernaillen included Paul Vanden Boeynants and General Beaurir. Vernaillen had been given these names in 1980 by Leon Finne, a former CEPIC member and banker who used to be involved in illegal arms sales. Coincidentally, Finne was assassinated by the Gang of Nijvel on September 27, 1985. On November 29, 1989, adjutant Guy Dussart of the BOB in Waverse testified in a closed session of the parliamentary investigating committee that he was approached in December 1985 - March 1986 by two senior high nobility figures who belonged to Opus Dei. They explained to him that at least 9 important members of Opus Dei (which likely included de Bonvoisin) in addition to several officers and generals of the Gendarmerie and the army were working to destabilize the country and as a result transfer all power to the king. Dussart mentioned the same names as Lieutenant-Colonel Vernaillen, including General Beaurir and Paul Vanden Boeynants (both belonged to Opus Dei). Dussart also said that the aborted 1973 coup, named "l'Ordre Blue", involved some of the same players as the coup prepared in the 1980s. There also was a report that the conspirators had organized several meetings at Castle Dongelberg, owned by Opus Dei. X2 later claimed that children had been abused at Dongelberg, while Nathalie W. also mentioned the castle in her testimony. CEPIC disbanded in 1981, soon after their connections to the NEM-clubs and Front de la Jeunesse were found out about. Excerpts of the 1981 confidential State Security memo (translated from Dutch): "It was determined that certain members of the board of the C.E.P.I.C. (x) in the past have lent their cooperated to the publication and the editorial office of NEM, were part of the NEM-clubs of the F.J. [Front de la Jeunesse] and maintained contact with board members or supporters of the two latter mentioned groups. Amongst others, it concerns: Jean Breydel, secretary-general of the C.E.P.I.C., Benoit de Bonvoisin, treasurer of the C.E.P.I.C., Joseph (Jo) Gerard, Paul Van Kerkhoven, Joseph Franz and Bernard Mercier. The board, the administration and the editorial office of the NEM, which has been published under this name since 1971 by the "Compagnie Internationale des Editions Populaires" (C.I.D.E.P.), is located at no. 5 of the Dekenstraat in Brussels... Furthermore, at this address was located the secretariat of the 1972 founded NEM-clubs, as well, until 1978, the seat of F.J.... The seat of C.E.P.I.C. is located at no. 39 of the Belliardstraat in Brussels. This building also contains the Belliard auditorium, the seat of "Mouvement d'Action pour l'Unite Europeenne" (xx), just as the offices of the "Societe de Promotion et de la Distribution Generale" (P.D.G.), supervised, through a go-between, by Benoit de Bonvoisin... The NEM is supported by Benoit de Bonvoisin, who pays the rent of the in the Dekensstraat located offices and hires the editor in chief as an advisor... Francis Dossogne, head of the F.J., was paid in the same way, until he left the NEM. The partnership P.D.G., and consequently de Bonvoisin, through a go-between finances the magazine "INFOREP" which claims to be a "daily paper for party leaders", but in reality is a bi-language magazine with strong anti-communist leanings. From 1976 to 1978 its editor in chief was Major Jean Bougerol, a higher career officer working for the headquarters of the domestic armed forces. Jean Bougerol has spoken at lectures organized by the NEM-clubs... This officer, who keeps in close contact with Bernard Mercier, board member of the C.E.P.I.C., was mentioned as one of the organizers of the transport from Antwerp to the seat of the C.E.P.I.C. in Brussels of a wanted neo-nazi terrorist. This person had to be taken by Bernard Mercier to a domain in the Ardennes belonging to de Bonvoisin and subsequently to France. The German was intercepted by State Security during the trip from Antwerp to Brussels... According to unverifiable sources the F.J. would have approached several foreign governments and opposition-movements for financial support." Since Albert Raes, head of State Security, was largely responsible for the release of this memo, he was immediately attacked by de Bonvoisin and associates, a trend that would continue over the decades. On February 6, 1995, Raes explained at the VTM-broadcast 'Telefacts': "... according to some it [his persecution] might have something to do with arms trade, arms shipping, arms theft, arms smuggling, and the whole mess that can be found around weapons. [confirms he is referring to VdB and Baron Benoît de Bonvoisin]" On www.baronbenoitdebonvoisin.com Benoit is supposed to give us his personal history. Instead, he uses two thirds of his own biography to bash his opponents. He does, however, give some interesting insights: "Besides his political role within the CEPIC, Benoît de Bonvoisin exerted an influence in Zaïre [Congo; Belgian colony until 1960], firstly in the struggle against communism and secondly attempting to curb corruption, with friends from the American administration. Van den Boeynants assigned General Roman and Benoît on a number of missions in order to counteract the Soviet influence in Belgium... Through a number of people with whom he was in touch in the United States and France, B. de B felt it necessary to try and get the Belgian intelligence services under democratic control. He considered it urgent, since this was the only secret service to escape control... [bashes Albert Raes, head of Belgian intelligence] Largely because of B. de B, Raes was forced to resign in 1990... B. de Bonvoisin was highly regarded by the head of the French secret services, Alexandre de Marenches, but the latter had no esteem for Albert Raes... [bashes Albert Raes a bit more]... he [Raes] tried to associate B. de B with the extreme right, a trick often used by the Soviet secret services." On the same page: "Professor Lode Van Outrive concluded that : " Several times the Americans tried to convince Raes to concentrate first and foremost on the Eastern block countries whereas he seemed more interested in targeting extreme right wing movements. This clearly bothered the Americans who got him to resign."" In 2003, Benoit and his brother Pierre were prosecuted by the Belgian authorities for having faked so called KGB documents. Benoit used these documents in 1995 to prove there was a vast left wing conspiracy aimed at discrediting him, which included many members of government. After the death of CEPIC in 1981, PIO was reorganized into the possibly even more influential European Institute of Management (EIM). Col. Rene Mayerus, a good friend of Major Jean Bougerol (the protege of de Bonvoisin and Vanden Boeynants and accused by X1 of being involved in the child abuse network) became administrative-director of EIM. Within 6 months of its founding, the new head of EIM became Douglas MacArthur II (born in 1909; Episcopalian; nephew of the famous general; ambassador to Paris 1938-1940; ambassador to the Fascist Vichy government 1940-1942; held in Nazi internment for 16 months after Petain broke off relations with the US in 1942; member General Eisenhower's SHAEF staff in 1944; ambassador to Italy 1944-1948; became chief of the State Department's Division of European Affairs in 1949; political advisor to SHAPE headquarters in France 1951-1952; counselor US Department State in Washington 1953-1957; member CFR from the 1950s to the late 1980s; ambassador to Japan in Tokyo 1957-1961; ambassador to Brussels 1961-1965; assistant secretary of state and head of the State Department's Bureau of Congressional Relations 1965-1967; ambassador to Austria 1967-1969; ambassador to Iran during the Shah's reign 1969-1972 (retired after evading a kidnapping attempt); independent international affairs consultant in Washington 1972-1997; director Banque Bruxelles Lambert; since 1981, chair of the European Institute of Management (EIM), a privatized fascist army intelligence group which tried to undermine the Belgian democratic process and appears to have been at the center of a child abuse, torture and murder ring; member of the editorial advisory board of The Washington Times since Sun Myung Moon founded it in 1982; chaired Moon's World Media Conference in Tokyo in the mid-1980s; openly supported the Women's Federation for World Peace when Moon founded it in 1987; founding chair of Sun Myung Moon-funded Panda Motor Corp in China since 1988, a company that went bankrupt within a few years (October 16, 1989, Daily Herald, 'Moon-backed Panda car drives into skepticism of auto industry'); his uncle Douglas MacArthur saved Moon during the invasion of Korea; big supporter of the UN's Temple of Understanding; died in 1997). In 1990, examining magistrate Freddy Troch reopened some of the Gang of Nijvel documents and began to look into its political connections. Two of the persons he became very interested in as a result were Frans Reyniers (Brussels police commissioner; assisted in the Gang of Nijvel investigation; later convicted criminal; regularly visited Les Atrébates and later The Dolo, Nihoul's favorite hangouts, for orgies, sometimes involving minors) and Baron de Bonvoisin. Troch was warned and subsequently kicked off the case by Melchior Wathelet, a violent child abuser together with Baron de Bonvoisin and Paul Vanden Boeynants, according to X1. Wathelet was also accused by another source. A good friend and frequent security consultant to Baron de Bonvoisin was André Moyen (both lived in Ardenne), a former senior member of both Belgian military intelligence and the Belgian Stay-Behind network. In November 1990, Moyen said that the Belgian stay-behind network was not only anti-communist, but that it fought subversion of the state in general. Has visited the Mirano, according to X2, where he was involved in child abuse parties with Paul Bourlee, Oliver Castiaux and others. Has been accused and convicted of a number of crimes in his career, but was later on always acquitted. In August or September 1996, de Bonvoisin began to interfere with the Dutroux investigation, undoubtedly because he had gotten wind of X-dossier witnesses implicating him in child abuse and torture networks. He was even mentioned as a central person in child hunts. X1 in PV 100.399, January 11, 1997: "Translation of a fax of X1 of January 6, 1997: She speaks of someone who judged to see if she was dangerous. It is about someone who prefers the violence: the sex is a dessert... He often went to hunt with VDB - he works at Sabena. He participated in the hunts on children... Tony brought her to a domain - there were 4 other girls (Marianne; Valerie; Catharine; Sonja)... [present:] VDB [Paul Vanden Boeynants] - person from Sabena - 4 Gd [gendarme officers] - de Bonvoisin. There was also the gamekeeper who raped the girls but did no more than that. Bonvoisin was the most dangerous - he had come to kill... The girls run into the woods and each time they are caught they have to remove a piece of clothing. X1 is forced by Bonvoisin to stay with him - she must choose and point out the girls... Bonvoisin forces X1 pull the trigger while telling her that if she misses she is shot. She fires on Sonja and kills her. Marianne is killed with a cross-bow. X1 is raped and brought back home." This text can easily be matched with: 1998, Regina Louf, 'Zwijgen is voor daders - De getuigenis van X1' ('Silence is for perpetrators - The testimony of X1'), p. 104: "He leaned against the pavilion, the other men stood laughing in a group drinking coffee. A sort of game-keeper kept two Sint-Hubertus dogs on a leash. I quickly counted them, about ten men... I knew the domain, with its sloping hills, the big pond a bit further, the woods and the rhododendron bushes. It didn't exactly comfort me to be taken out here... Silently I began to calculate how my chances were of getting out alive, and hope sank to my shoes. This would be a short hunting party, it still was far too light and the weather too nice to effectively hide yourself. And they looked like it was really serious... I looked at Jo [one of her regular and most violent abusers], he didn't smile, not even tried to interact with the group. He tensely looked back. The fear slowly crept up. This was serious... He [de Bonvoisin] had come to kill, the other men didn't play a role to me anymore, if he was sitting that unmoved he would do the most damage... The girls had to run into the woods, and each time they caught one, they had to take off a piece of clothing... I didn't have to play the game. He made me an accomplice by having me find these girls and pointing them out... When the girls had taken off all their clothes they started to aim. They shot next to them on purpose, hunting them up, and laughing about their fears. He came to stand behind me, readied his gun and helped me to aim it... 'If you miss we shoot you, if you hit you'll live,' he whispered in my ear, almost lovingly... [she hit]" His sister Marie-Cecile and brother-in-law Count Herve d'Ursel were also implicated in some of the more shocking aspects of the X-dossiers: 1999, Marie-Jeanne Van Heeswyck, Annemie Bulte and Douglas De Coninck, 'De X-dossiers', p. 248: "Present at the first of three sex parties she [X1] mentioned industrialists Y. and W., lawyer E., Annie Bouty, Michel Nihoul, Tony and trader in dogs from the region of Mechels. What she noticed about the villa, was a large pool and an impressive collection of model ships which were exhibited inside just about all over the place ["villa des bateaux" of Count Herve d'Ursel and Marie-Cecile de Bonvoisin d'Ursel]. The children were forced to watch a sort of snuff movie, in which, according to X1, two of her children were tortured. The purpose of the first night was an initiation. The adults wore SM clothing and butchered a goat and a rabbit in front of the eyes of the by then unclothed and tied up children. According to X1, the whole ritual had nothing to do with satanism and even less with bizarre sexual preferences of the adults - they hated this - but everything with a well thought-out method to condition the kids and to prevent that one of them would ever speak out. After all, stories about butchered goats, rabbits and men in black leather suits would not be believed by anyone. With 'Kristien' it went totally wrong, X1 said. She kept resisting, refused to accept what happened to her. X1 and Mieke, who had to force her to eat the heart of the freshly-butchered rabbit, tried to keep her silent - which didn't succeed." De Bonvoisin invited a number of Dutroux-Nihoul investigators to his castle. During this meeting he called up Michel Bourlet, head of the overall Dutroux-Nihoul investigation, to make an appointment with this person. Bourlet scheduled a meeting with the baron for the following day, but never had the intention to actually show up (which he indeed didn't). In December 1997, de Baron accused inspector De Baets, the interviewer of X1, who claimed to have been brutally tortured and raped by the baron and his friends, of having overstepped his authority in May 1990, while searching his castle during the CIDEP affair. Unfortunately for the baron, although De Baets was involved in that case, the actual search of the baron's house had been conducted by a colleague of De Baets. Other attempts to defame De Baets were undertaken by friends of the baron, not the least of them the earlier-mentioned Andre Moyen, but all of them turned out to be bogus. De Baets was already "under investigation" at that point for allegedly not having properly interviewed X1. He would be acquitted of these charges in 2000, but luckily for the de Bonvoisin that apparently was no reason to reopen the case of X1, X2 or any of the other victim-witnesses. Madani Bouhouche b. 1952 Source(s): X1 ('The X-Dossiers', p. 259-260: "The intention was that she [X1] would show them the way to 'the factory', where she already had spoken about in a previous interview. At the time, she talked about a secret studio where snuff movies were recorded. On the E40 Brussels-Luik she had pointed to exit Sterrebeek. From there she made the inspectors drive until a crossing. 'Go left here', she said. A few miles down the road she made the car stop. That's it, 'the factory'. De Pauw looked and saw a large board with a name on it [ASCO]. It was the company of a business friend [Roger Boas] of a politician pointed out by X1 [Paul Vanden Boeynants]... 'It has changed', she noted [accurately, just as the description she gave earlier]... X1 describes the BMW - 'dark windows through which you look from the inside out, but not the other way around' - and immediately leads De Baets to suspect that this was about the type of cars the Diana Group drove with. De Baets doesn't reach that conclusion for nothing. In a writing pad... she [X1] wrote about a 'gendarme officer' who raped her while he kept a gun pressed to her head. He always wore dark sunglasses [which reminds most people immediately of Madani Bouhouche]... That night he [De Baets] tested his suspicions." Bouhouche was indeed 1 of the 8 persons picked by X1 on September 30, 1996 out of 40 pictures presented to her (how many real pictures there ranges from "several" to about 20). Four of the individuals she pointed out intrigued De Baets (Bouhouche, Christian Amory, Col. Gerard Lhost and Col. Rene Mayerus) and seemed to confirm his suspicions that key suspects of the Gang of Nijvel affair were also involved in the child abuse network. However, X1 also misidentified at least three, and maybe four pictures, and this time it really appears to have been a mistake (as opposed to all the manipulations by the "re-readers" later on). It must be stated, however, that X1 always became very emotional when looking at pictures because of all the flashbacks she would get. 1999, 'The X-dossiers', p. 261: "X1 identified Madani Bouhouche as the very violent driver of the BMW who took her to 'the factory' [the rape, torture and murder room at the ASCO factory] and Christian Amory as a sort of slave driver who brought her and her fellow victims to recording studios or parks where older men shot at hunted children."); X2 (Regularly went to the Dolo where she met Bouhouche and saw him speak with Henri Bil, the (abusive) driver and confidant of Vanden Boeynants. Met Bouhouche's spouse at the Hilton, together with, Willy de Clerck, Vanden Boeynants (alleged abuser), Wilfried Martens (alleged abuser), Jean Gol (vice-premier and minister van justice under Martens in the 1980s), Philippe Moureaux, Guy Delvoie (alleged abuser who partied with Lippens and Davignon) and Nihoul) Armenian descent. Gendarme officer working under the authority of the National Bureau for Drugs (NBD). The NBD was created by Paul Vanden Boeynants and General Leon Fernand Francois (invited by the US Army's CID in 1969; educated by the DEA; received by President Nixon; secretary of the International Drug Enforcement Association; founded the gendarmerie's National Bureau for Drugs (NBD) in the 1972-1975 period with Paul Vanden Boeynants and CIA support, and became the NBD's initial head; always present at the border when a new large shipment of marijuana and cocaine of VdB's company was smuggled into Belgium; leading member of the subversive and fascist Group G, together with DEA agent Frank Eaton; provided the CIA chief in Belgium with intelligence about leftists and other dissident groups) in the 1972-1975 period. The CIA provided training for the NBD and delivered many, often questionable, informants. In return General Francois would give the CIA chief in Belgium intelligence about leftists and other dissident groups. General Fernand Beaurir, accused of pedophilia by different sources, became head of the NBD in 1978. In 1979, a BOB officer began reporting on corruption in the NBD and how top level officers were involved in the drug trade themselves. General Francois, for example, was always present at the border when a new large shipment of marijuana and cocaine of Vanden Boeynants' company Boucheries Ghysels was smuggled into Belgium. That these drug transports were going on was already known for three years, but they were never intercepted. General Francois was arrested in January 1980 and a large public investigation into the NBD began. While interrogating Francois and his NBD associates, two chief investigators, Major Herman Vernaillen and BOB adjutant Guy Goffinon, were told how they couldn't touch their suspects because they were protected by prime minister Paul Vanden Boeynants and Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin, both members of the fascist CEPIC and Cercle des Nations organizations. On top of that, General Beaurir, a Nazi-sympathizing buddy of Vanden Boeynants, and other senior Gendarme officers began sabotaging the investigation. The investigators did not back down, and Goffinon even advised that Vanden Boeynants be arrested on charges of drug trade. In 1981, Major Herman Vernaillen transferred Bouhouche and his colleague Robert Beyer (left the Gendarmerie in 1983 with Bouhouche and worked with him until September 1984 in Agence Recherche Investigation (ARI), a front for other criminal activities; with Bouhouche he had stolen from the Gendarmerie a whole database of info on prominent politicians, which they tried to sell; part of Bouhouche's group to some day conduct a terror-extortion campaign against warehouses; said Bouhouche tried to recruit him in a secret organization, but declined the offer; fled to Paraguay in 1989 for a murder he and Bouhouche were investigated for; briefly stayed with Jean Bultot in Paraguay; claimed in February 1988 that he offered to Vanden Boeynants to steal dossiers about him from the Ministry of Justice, but how this ex-prime minister refused. Then added how State Security (attacked for years by the fascist de Bonvoisin and CEPIC in general) asked him to steal dossiers about Humo articles dealing with the Pinon affair from the Ministry of Justice. Highlighted the alleged State Security connection with the CCC, a "communist"-terrorist Belgian group in the 1980s) after he had found out that that these two had bugged the office of a colleague. On October 12, 1981 there was a failed assassination attempt on Goffinon, followed on October 26 by a failed attempt on Vernaillen (he and his wife were badly shot up. His wife ended up being 40% paralyzed). It soon turned out that pilot and DEA agent Jean-Francois Buslik, a long time friend of Madani Bouhouche and also a friend of DEA narcotics specialist Frank Eaton (both top players in Belgium's NATO-sponsored fascist fifth column), had manufactured the timing mechanism of the explosive. Bombs with similar unusual timing mechanisms were later found in a storage space located in the same street where Paul Latinus and Martial Leukeu lived (other top players in Belgium's NATO-sponsored fascist fifth column). Vanden Boeynants, Buslik and Bouhouche were (also) tied to the assassination attempt on Vernaillen, and as might be expected, Bouhouche for a while headed the investigation into the attempt on Goffinon. Buslik fled to the United States where he assumed a new identity. On January 1, 1982 there was a break in into the barracks of the Special Intervention Squadron (Belgium's combined SWAT/CT team), better known as the Diana Group. Five of the newest automatic riot guns were stolen, together with 5 FAL rifles, 2 pistols, 15 H&K MP5(SD)s of which ten with silencers, and 2,500 rounds of ammunition. Bouhouche, who was a was a regular visitor of the Diana Group, was totally implicated, but never prosecuted. Bouhouche regularly visited the gunsmith of the Diana Group barracks. Left the BOB in 1983 together with colleague Robert "Bob" Beyer. With Beyer he had stolen a whole database of info on prominent politicians, which they tried to sell to Paul Vanden Boeynants (accused by several witnesses of being a sadistic child abuser/killer) (couldn't remember this fact. Only remembered he had declined an offer of Bouhouche to steal incriminating files against his person) and Minister of Justice Philippe Moureaux (accused by The Sprout of having been present at the murder of Julie and Melissa, together with Cardinal Danneels) (confirmed it had been offered to him and that he declined the offer). February 27, 1988, De Morgen, Francois Raes (BOB officer and whistleblower who exposed NBD highest level drug dealing) commentary: "Isn't that story of these two ministers strange? They are contacted to buy secret information and they don't inform a single police service. At the very least that's a lack of civil goodwill." Bouhouche and Beyer founded the Agence Recherche Investigation (ARI) in April 1983, a private detective agency. With just a few thousand bucks they apparently were able hire about half a dozen storage places and apartments, and buy computers, cars and weapons. Where they got the additional source of income to buy or hire all this stuff has not established. Prominent member of the Belgian Practical Shooting Association, together with Jean Bultot. Became director and secretary of the Practical Pistol Club of Belgium (PPCB) in 1982. Instructor at the Parabellum Club, a practical shooting club. In 1980, Bouhouche had instructed several of his associates/friends at the Parabellum Club. After the men (without Bouhouche) left the club they went to drink something at a nearby cafe. Here they got into a fight with one Frenchman and two Algerians. The two Algerians were shot and the Frenchman was hit in the face with a broken beer bottle. The friends of Bouhouche were arrested or, like Jean-Marie Paul (a close friend of Paul Latinus), fled to Paraguay. Closely associated with the Front de la Jeunesse (instructor there), headed by Francis Dossogne (paid "advisor" to Baron de Bonvoisin; took his orders from Army Intelligence major Jean Bougerol, head of PIO and personally picked by Vanden Boeynants and Baron de Bonvoisin; another "private detective"; director of CIDEP, publisher of the fascist NEM magazine; good friend Jean Bultot, who is closely tied to the Gang of Nijvel; gave permission to Paul Latinus in '78-'79 to reorganize the Brussels department of Front de la Jeunesse; according to Martial Lekeu, Dossogne, Latinus and DEA agent Frank Eaton were leaders of Group G, a Nazi-inspired NATO-sanctioned parallel organization within the Gendarmerie). Possibly a member of Westland New Post (often considered an associate member only), set up and headed by Paul Latinus (Nazi; recruited by the DIA in 1967, age 17; trained by NATO; reserve lieutenant with the Air Force; paid informant of State Security; recruited as an intelligence agent by PIO in 1977; recommended everywhere by the CEPIC leadership; member Front de la Jeunesse; founder Westland New Post (WNP) in 1981; named as one of the leaders of Group G; suicided in 1984). Bouhouche was mainly in contact with Latinus' right hand, Michel Libert. WNP was an initiative of PIO, a US-NATO-sanctioned private military intelligence group set up by Baron de Bonvoisin (CEPIC) and Paul Vanden Boeynants (CEPIC) together with the Belgian army. Latinus and other senior member of WNP claimed the real name of WNP was Westland National Sozialistische Ordnung, which for obvious reasons was only used internally. CEPIC director Bernard Mercier, "inspector-general" of the WNP, provided a flat to the WNP. Bouhouche was in contact with members of Group G, a secret Nazi group within the Gendarmerie that was part of a wider operation to destabilize the Belgian state. Similar cells were located in the Army, the Universite Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), the Royal Military School, the Mobile Legion, the Special Intervention Squadron (Diana Group), the narcotics section of the BOB and different other branches of the Gendarmerie. Most members of a particular cell did not know about the others and Nazi-fascist infiltration could have been much larger than the estimated 60 recruits. The Nazis Paul Latinus and Francis Dossogne, who were sponsored by Baron de Bonvoisin and Paul Vanden Boeynants, oversaw Group G. Commandant Francois and Frank Eaton were important members. Gendarme officer Martial Lekeu (close friend of Commandant Francois and Paul Latinus; member Group G) exposed the group in 1989 (already gave his information to the proper authorities in 1984, but nothing was done), after he had fled to the United States. As a devout Nazi he had been recruited in the late 1970s by a colleague at the BOB. Lekeu: "When I joined the Gendarmerie I became a devout fascist. At the Diana Group I got to know people who had the same convictions as me. We greeted each other like the Nazis. Every time we clicked the heels of our boots together in the canteen or halls of the BOB building at the Leuvense street we heard others do the same. That was a sign of solidarity.... Together with about 10 other Gendarme officers we listened to march music of the Waffen-SS. Nazi flags were decorating the walls." Lekeu explained how an attempt to destabilize Belgium had been in the workings since 1975. Group G (Gendarmerie) and Group M (Military) were to conduct a whole range of terrorist attacks, somehow resulting in the CEPIC crowd becoming all-powerful. It's likely that the idea was to introduce police state legislation and possibly even to declare martial law, but apparently the average fascist didn't know the exact procedure. Lekeu in 1989 in Panorama magazine: "During the gatherings of the Front a plan was developed to destabilize Belgium and to prepare it for a non-democratic regime. This plan consisted of two parts: a cell political terrorism and a cell gangsterism. I worked in the cell gangsterism. I was one of the specialist who had to train young guys with rightist leanings, to knead them into a well trained gang prepared to do anything. After that I had to break all contact with them, so they could exist as an independent group and do robberies without them realizing they were part of a well-planned plot." The existence of Group G, the involvement of Bouhouche and Lekeu in it, and that some organized crime seemed to have a political motive behind it, was already confirmed by the BOB in an extensive PV dated March 18, 1985. In the first half of 1989 a team led by investigating magistrate Freddy Troch and substitute Willy Acke managed to track down 10 former members of Group G. They largely confirmed the story of Lekeu, although obviously tried to marginalize the whole operation. Interestingly, Bob Beyer once mentioned that Bouhouche asked him if he would be interested in joining a clandestine organization. Beyer declined and says he doesn't know what this group was about. Some time before his death Juan Mendez said to his family and friends that he had been invited to join a clandestine group that was gathering data on political adversaries to be used during and after a coup. Bouhouche regularly went to the Jonathan in Sint-Gillis, a night club with strippers and prostitutes. The visitors of the Jonathan were mainly Nazis and other fascists who often worked for the police, military or mercenary corporations. The owner of the Jonathan in the 1980s, Jean-Paul "Pepe" Derijcke, made sure that pictures and video was taken of his customers when they were involved with one the club's prostitutes. This material was used for blackmail purposes. It's probably no coincidence that Michel Nihoul was a good friend Derijcke.
