The Federal Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne (Flemish Liberal) has said that he was unaware of the fact that three guests at his birthday party urinated against a police van that was parked outside his front door. Footage shot by police cameras shows the guests peeing up the police van. The Federal Justice Minister says that the images have been interpreted suggestively and that in any case he was totally unaware of the incident until he read about it in the press.

Justice Minister says he was unaware that guests at his home urinated up a police van

Images from police cameras appear to indicate Mr Van Quickenborne found the incident amusing. "The interpretation of the footage has been suggestive and it does not prove that I was aware of what happened a few hours before", the Justice Minister said. The footage shows that the van was urinated on three times (at 8:39 pm, at 10:05 pm and 00:02 am).
"People also claim that I was laughing when I was looking at my mobile phone," says Van Quickenborne. "I think those interpretations are very far-fetched and inconsistent with the truth." The Justice Minister insists that he only heard about urinating incident when it was reported on in the press. "I celebrated my birthday and of course drank a few beers. What's wrong with that?"
"During the past few years, I have worked hard for to improve the justice system and I will continue to do so. I will also stand up for myself."
