A week later, he was a man who, during a permission to leave prison, opened fire on police after committing an armed robbery. The police replied and injured him but his days are not in danger.
On July 13 and 14, shots targeted a coffee on Boulevard du Midi. Since it seemed to be sheltered – or at the very least allow – the sale of narcotics, a measure of judicial closure of the coffee has been ordered.
The victim of the shooting in Molenbeek is a 17 -year -old teenager
Two fatal shootings
On July 26, a hooded man was shot dead. We found his corpse in a car in an underground parking lot in Evere. It would be an assassination. “”There are investigative duties that are underway. To avoid any risk of collusion and loss of evidence, I will not comment on the survey consequences. There are several tracks that are envisaged and there are already elements that are harvested. The file is moving well “comments Mr. Moinil.
On August 7, a man was targeted by shots on a deal point Place Lemmens in Anderlecht. He succumbed to his injuries. “”We have material elements, in particular images that will allow, I hope, to advance very quickly “explains Mr. Moinil.
“In some European cities, there have been shootings for years. But I don’t want in Brussels to be part of the city”
The fourteen other shootings, recorded equally to Molenbeek-Saint-Jean and Anderlecht, ended in six injured.
For Mr. Moinil, one cannot trivialize. “”In some European cities, there have been shootings for years. But I don’t want in Brussels to be part of the city. “
The main reason invoked by Mr. Moinil is that this can affect innocent victims. In Molenbeek, on August 5 at around 2:00 p.m., a mother was traveling with her nine-year-old daughter when a shot reached the pre-left of the windshield of his car. “”Are we going to wait for there to be innocent victims to receive means ?”wonders Mr. Moinil.
The next day, shots reached a parking car and the window of a home. “”Considering it is a problem between drug traffickers would be a mistake. Each person circulating in Brussels can take a lost bullet. It’s totally unacceptablehe thunders. It is time that we wake up and clean these districts full of drugs. “
And to insist: “Justice does its job “. Since January, since its entry into office, 6,211 adults and 874 minors have been referred to the prosecution, according to its estimates. For the same period 2024, it was 2,000 adults and 200 minors.
Molenbeek in shock: “The police and the state don’t care, they do nothing”
Deal points at 50,000 euros
So why these shootings? “”Does the work we do destabilize certain groups, since there are more than 1,500 people who have been imprisoned, and therefore some want to win back the territories ? Do others want to stay at all costs? These are hypotheses “advance Mr. Moinil. In any case, the latter sees it as a fight to appropriate deal points which, with turnover of 20,000, 30,000, or even 50,000 euros per week, are extremely lucrative.
The federal judicial police carried out an analysis of the crime organized in Brussels at the request of the prosecution. She shows that there “More than 600 people involved in crime organized in Brussels, with thousands of potential workers, especially illegal staying which are an easy workforce “ and who “can be recruited on Monday to kill someone on Thursday “.
“It is clear that most of the drugs related to drugs are the result of organizations, structured associations. What may seem unstructured is the workforce. Because it is obvious that the manager does not go on the street with a Kalashnikov to open fire. He asks small hands which, for 500, 1000 or 2,000 euros, will kill or try to kill.”
“Each Brussels resident can take a lost bullet. It is unacceptable”: 20 shootings shaken the capital this summer
