BRUSSELS: A 71-year-old man wanted in connection with the assassination of Belgian deputy prime minister Andre Cools nearly three decades ago has been arrested in southern Italy, Belgium’s foreign affairs ministry said on Wednesday.
A spokesman for the ministry confirmed media reports of the arrest by Italian police at Veglie in the Lecce region. Thirteen years after the killing, six men – mainly of Italian origin – were convicted of complicity in the assassination and given jail terms of up to 20 years.Prosecutors say the convicted men took their orders from a political rival to Cools, Alain Van der Biest, who was also charged with complicity but died in 2002 in what was ruled to be a suicide.
