Interest of	Dutroux Affair

Jean-Michel Nihoul better known as Michel Nihoul, was a Belgian businessman and acquaintance of Marc Dutroux.

Official narrative

During the 1990s and 2000s, he was the subject of a media and legal case in connection with the Marc Dutroux, but was acquitted with a Nolle prosequi in 2010 for alleged involvement in child abduction.

He was sentenced to five years' imprisonment for drug trafficking and criminal association.

Concerns

Nihoul was a central person in the Dutroux affair and it stands to reason that only a number of deaths and criminal misconduct from the Belgian police force made it possible for him to walk free from the most severe accusations. Many people think that he was the (or one of more) central organizer(s) for a criminal network that abducted children of the streets in Belgium.

After his release from prison he was very frank in some of his interviews and let it be known that he is the kind of mafia person that he was made out to be.
