ING Belgium is under judicial information for “influence traffic” led by the Brussels prosecutor’s office in connection with the management of his illustrious customer Didier Reynders, reveals on Wednesday evening. Confirmed information, without more comments, by the prosecutor of King Julien Moinil.
This survey was opened after the National Bank of Belgium (BNB), the regulator of the banking sector, transmitted its inspection report on ING and its management of the Reynders case to justice. This new file is therefore distinct from that, for suspicions of money laundering, that the Brussels prosecutor’s office opened in 2023 against the former minister and European commissioner.
Since July, former or current Ing officials have been parading in the premises of the Central Office for the Repression of Corruption (OCRC), responsible for understanding whether the former president of French -speaking liberals has been protected by his bank. According to evening, the former and the current CEO of Ing Belgium, Erik Van Den Heyden and Peter Adams, received a summons to be heard, as suspects, like all hearing.
Didier Reynders filed, from 2008 to 2018, nearly 700,000 euros in cash on his ING account. The bank questioned its client in 2018 on its regular and important deposits but chose not to denounce these atypical operations at the CTIF, the anti -iblanching body, before 2023. Especially since after the questions of his banker in 2018, Didier Reynders had started to massively bet on games of chance, still in cash. The lottery gains were, again, donated to the ING account.
Questioned, the Belgian subsidiary of the Dutch bank declares that it cannot be expressed on a specific file.
