Herman Van Holsbeeck was charged in 2019 with counts of private corruption, money laundering, forgery and use of forgery and criminal association. He was released on conditions after his hearing by the investigating judge. The federal prosecutor’s office had been investigating for several months money laundering practices and financial arrangements linked to the transfer of players.
Players’ agent Christophe Henrotay was also charged in this case, then released on conditions. One of his collaborators in the Liège region, Christophe Cheniaux, had also been charged with money laundering, private corruption, criminal association, forgery and use of forgery.
These are new elements that led to the placement under arrest warrant of the former manager of RSC Anderlecht.
In addition, Herman Van Holsbeeck was charged in September with the former owner of the RSCA Roger Vanden Stock and the previous CEO of the Brussels first division football club Jo Van Biesbroeck of forgery, use of forgery, fraud and money laundering in the context of the sale of the club to businessman Marc Coucke. The instruction is here closed.
