Federal prosecutor's letter, English translation: The Federal Prosecutor's Office received, on Friday evening and Saturday evening, through a lawyer, two complaints originating from the Hind Rajab Foundation and the NGO Global Action Network. These complaints concern serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the Gaza Strip, allegedly by two members of the Israeli army who were staying in Belgium to attend the Tomorrowland festival. After a preliminary examination of these complaints, the Federal Prosecutor's Office considered that it might have jurisdiction based on the new Article 14/10 of the Preliminary Title of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which came into force on April 28, 2024. This article grants extraterritorial jurisdiction to Belgian courts to address offenses committed outside Belgian territory, particularly those covered by conventional international law, specifically the Geneva Conventions of August 12, 1949, relating to war crimes, and the United Nations Convention Against Torture of December 10, 1984. Given this possible jurisdiction, the Federal Prosecutor's Office requested the police to locate the two individuals mentioned in the complaints and to proceed with their questioning. Following these interviews, the individuals were released. At this stage of the investigation, no further information will be provided.
