Depending on the incriminating elements that will be brought to its attention, it will take the appropriate measures with regard to those responsible.“, also communicated the local police zone.

The police zone nevertheless wishes to react to the allegations repeated in certain media concerning the fact that the police officers concerned would have prowled around the Athénée de Molenbeek-Saint-Jean where the young people concerned are educated.
