Fourteen suspects – including former CEO Herman Van Holsbeeck, former chairman Roger Vanden Stock and players’ agent Christophe Henrotay – are brought to justice in the case of RSC Anderlecht’s fraudulent sale to Marc Coucke. Anderlecht owner Marc Coucke replies: “Grateful that the court is digging deeper.”
Marc Coucke is satisfied with the further investigation into the Anderlecht sale fraud. “We are very grateful that the court is digging deeper with the necessary speed,” he tells our editors. “Although this confirms once again what we have been saying for a long time: that unsavory practices were carried out and corpses fell out of the closet. And that has already had many consequences.”
“Do these consequences also influence Anderlecht’s current sporting malaise? I think this has nothing to do with each other. But of course the extremely difficult circumstances of the takeover – both financially and structurally – didn’t help to make Anderlecht a success story. But I don’t want to hide behind that, our club can’t finish eleventh in the overall standings. Our supporters deserve better. We will therefore work very hard to get this all sorted out.”
