Antwerp criminal lawyer Jorgen Van Laer reached an agreement with the prosecutor's office, pleading guilty to attempted money laundering and membership in a criminal organization in exchange for community service.

The agreement was submitted to the Antwerp Criminal Court for approval on Tuesday behind closed doors. En février, la chambre du conseil a estimé qu' il y avait suffisamment d' éléments pour renvoyer l' avocat Jorgen Van Laer in criminal court. But long before, the latter concluded an agreement with the prosecutor's office, a prior admission of guilt. He pleads guilty in exchange for 150 hours of community service and a fine of 8,000 euros, partly suspended. He also said he was ready to meet certain conditions.
