The defendants are being prosecuted in connection with a vast case of home-invasions, trafficking in arms and narcotics. Farid Hakimi is suspected of being the head of a gang which is said to have raged in the provinces of Hainaut and Walloon Brabant. Stéphane Pauwels, defended by Me Sven Mary, is suspected of being a member of this criminal association.
During the first hearing, an agenda was established. Due to the measures taken to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, the trial will begin on Monday September 14 at Mons Expo in order to enforce social distancing measures. The debates are scheduled from Monday 14 to Friday 18 September, in the morning and in the afternoon. The dates of September 21 and 22 are also scheduled, in case the debates do not end on September 18.
