A scathing report from the Court of Audit has revealed that the 'i-Police' judicial system, a failed IT project, has cost Belgian taxpayers 139.4 million euros, nearly double the initial estimate. This critical assessment highlights significant financial mismanagement in the digitalization project.
In other domestic news, a former advocate was discovered fatally stabbed fourteen times in her Oudergem residence, with the perpetrator reportedly gaining entry through a bathroom window. Meanwhile, the possibility of deducting swimming pools from taxes is under examination following recent statements by Conner Rousseau, Chairman of the social-democratic Flemish Vooruit party.
Additionally, Sufism is being highlighted in Brussels this weekend as a branch of Islam that is seen to best adapt to Western society. Separately, Club President Bart Verhaeghe has publicly stated that he already pays millions in taxes, urging an end to certain financial practices, and Flemings are increasingly purchasing electric heaters due to high gas prices, though experts warn of potential hidden costs.
