Kickboxer Jamal Ben S. arrested after cracking crypto phones | Abroad

The arrest of 30-year-old Ben S., born in Antwerp, follows the crackdown of communications service Sky ECC by the police. This allowed the authorities to view one billion messages.

A total of 48 people were arrested in Belgium on Tuesday. 73 arrests took place in the Netherlands. Our southern neighbors speak of a nuclear bomb that has exploded at the top of organized crime.

Sky is popular with criminals. Encrypted messages can be sent via the service. “Sky has been a sponsor of Jamal for many years, that’s no secret. That society is now in the picture of the judiciary, ”said De Colvenaer, who has also heard that Ben S. is being referred to as the seller (‘reseller’) of the secured crypto devices. “My client’s suspicion has to do with that.”

De Colvenaer emphasizes that the arrest of Ben S. has nothing to do with the trade in or possession of prohibited substances. “As a lawyer, I cannot make any further statements about the contents of the file because of my professional secrecy.”

Ben S. appears on Friday before the Belgian Council Chamber. There it is decided whether he will remain in detention or whether he may be released under supervision. However, neither statement says anything directly about the possible guilt or innocence of the fighter, explains De Colvenaer.

Great name
