Belgian Court of Cassation rejects appeals in Falzone and Ullens murder cases

Belgium's Court of Cassation denied new trials for Paolo Falzone, convicted of seven murders and 79 attempted murders, and Nicolas Ullens, convicted of murdering his mother-in-law. The court's ruling is procedural, not a merits review, and confirms the finality of both convictions. This is a routine appellate outcome, though it closes high-profile cases that have drawn public attention.
