The investigation was opened more than 1,5 years ago on 11 July 2024. The prosecutor’s office had received information from inside Nivelles Prison, where Marc Dutroux is serving a life sentence. The information was that Dutroux had a mobile phone in his cell on which images of the sexual abuse of children were stored.
Police officers carried out a search of the cell on 31 July 2024. Although no mobile phone was found they did find 4 envelopes containing images of naked girls and women.
In early January last year, the prosecutor’s office requested addition information and an examining magistrate added amongst other things a psychiatric report on Marc Dutroux that was drafted in 2020. The report states that Dutroux has a “psychopathic profile” with “an anti-social personality, narcissist and perverse tendencies and is devoid of any empathy”.
