The lawyer who stood against all powerful men in #MeToo cases: “Bart De Pauw’s strategy was extremely remarkable. While it was so simple” (Ghent)


Christine Mussche, the country’s most famous lawyer.

“If you really want to get to know a man, give him power. And then you see how often things go wrong.” Over the past year, Christine Mussche (65) looked many such powerful men in the eye: from art pope Jan Fabre, to TV star Bart De Pauw and attorney Johan Sabbe, to urologist Bo Coolsaet. The Ghent lawyer attracts #MeToo cases like a magnet. She cannot comprehend how moderately all those famous men defended themselves. “Bart DePauw? I would have loved to defend it myself. But different.”
