These two people are suspected of participation in the activities of a terrorist group, Daan C. also as a leader, of disseminating a terrorist message with the risk that terrorist offenses will be committed, of recruiting people with the aim of committing terrorist offenses and preparation for the commission of terrorist offenses. The latter was placed under arrest warrant by the investigating judge.
There are indications that the suspects were active on several encrypted far-right online platforms, actively calling for terrorist offenses, recruiting new members, and including sharing instructions for 3D-printed firearms. They were also found in possession of materials that could be used to make homemade bombs and Molotov cocktails, among other things.
It also appears that some members of the online groups wrote a manifesto and there are indications that they possessed weapons.
On these online platforms, like-minded minors and adults have been found to be active at home and abroad. With the cooperation of Eurojust and Europol, several investigations were opened abroad, which made it possible to identify several suspects – active within these groups.
This led to simultaneous searches, notably in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Croatia and Lithuania. Files were also opened in several other countries following the Belgian investigation, which also gave rise to legal interventions enabling the commission of a terrorist offense to be foiled.
