Belgium recruits 85 investigators for new financial prosecutor's office

Belgium's Justice Minister Annelies Verlinden announced recruitment of 85 investigators for a new financial prosecutor's office, expected operational by spring 2027. The office will be integrated into the federal prosecutor's office, led by a deputy federal prosecutor with ten magistrates, ten legal experts, and ten tax officials. This marks a structural expansion of financial crime enforcement, though the bill is still subject to revision.
