The threats were discovered in exchanges between individuals active in organised crime that were intercepted, Mr Bouchez clarified.
The Coordination Body for Threat Assessment (OCAD) assessed the threats as 'serious'.
The police zones of Brussels South (Anderlecht, Sint-Gillis, Vorst), where the MR headquarters are located, and Mons Quévy (Hainaut Province) are responsible for taking the necessary measures.
The added security includes patrols, safety instructions to be followed by the potential target and the provision of contact details in case of a suspicious situation.
