Pol Hauspie looks back 25 years after L&H bankruptcy with the investigating judge: "My confession was a liberation"

Pol Hauspie, co-founder of Lernout & Hauspie, reflects on the company's downfall and his admission of guilt in a recent interview. He maintains a friendship with Henri Heimans, the investigating judge, who also acknowledges the complexities of the case. Hauspie admits to committing fraud but emphasizes the intention behind their actions was not purely malicious. The duo discusses the extensive investigation that revealed accounting fraud rather than outright theft. Hauspie's perspective has evolved, and he expresses regret for the impact on shareholders, while Heimans critiques conspiracy theories surrounding the case.
