"When will De Wever intervene?: opposition demands that Verlinden (again) explains in parliament about the i-Police case
The Brussels public prosecutor is investigating potential confidential information exchange regarding the i-Police dossier between the Justice Minister Annelies Verlinden's cabinet and the prosecutor's office. Opposition parties demand further clarification, emphasizing the need for a parliamentary inquiry to uncover the truth behind the project, which aimed to digitize police work but faced significant issues and financial mismanagement. The project, initiated by Verlinden, resulted in a €299 million contract with Sopra Steria, which was later canceled due to lack of results. Concerns about Verlinden's involvement and potential conflicts of interest have intensified, prompting calls for accountability and transparency from various political factions.
