Subsidy Fraud Scandal: Sihame El Kaouakibi’s Let’s Go Urban and Related Companies

A subsidy fraud scandal concerning Sihame El Kaouakibi broke out at the beginning of 2021. The elected official had received funding for her Antwerp project Let’s Go Urban, dedicated to youth, but she allegedly transferred the funds to her other companies.

Let’s Go Urban was declared bankrupt in June 2021, and its other companies such as recruitment platform WannaWork and communications agency WannaCatch suffered the same fate.

The Flemish Parliament lifted its parliamentary immunity last October.

The case has already passed before the council chamber for the first time but was postponed due to requests for additional investigative duties.
