In October 2022, a man was sentenced to three years in prison for defrauding priests and nuns in Belgium, exploiting their trust to steal nearly €720,000. He approached priests after Mass, posing as a financial advisor, and convinced them to invest in non-existent projects.

Representing the victims, attorney Nicolas Vanderstappen emphasized that the perpetrator targeted what was most essential to them, causing significant harm. The court acknowledged the profound impact on the victims, noting that the defendant attacked the core of their beliefs and trust.
