Brussels court gives one-year prison term for arson of three police vehicles in Ixelles

Updated 17 June 2026, Brussels. A Brussels court has handed down a one-year custodial sentence for the deliberate burning of three police vehicles in Ixelles, according to La DH. The reported judgment concerns an arson case involving police property in the Brussels-Capital Region. La DH reported the sentence on Wednesday under the headline “Un an ferme pour l’incendie volontaire de trois véhicules de police à Ixelles.” Belgium Pulse has not found an official court communiqué or police-zone statement giving further details on the defendant, the date of the fire or any appeal. The police zone concerned is Brussels Capital-Ixelles, identified by PolBru as the local police zone covering Brussels and Ixelles. Belgium’s official justice portal, Belgium.be, lists justice organisation, victims’ services and court procedures as federal public-service information areas, giving the institutional context for criminal cases of this type.
