The Belgium Sex Trafficking Scandal in 1996.
He had girls locked in cages in his home and at a remote site (garage). When the nation's top prosecutor was zeroing in on the network of associates that Marc Dutroux was serving, the DA was pulled off the case. He was replaced by a Gvmt shill that conclude that Dutroux acted with 2 accomplishes.
(shitty Guardian synopsis)
The nation tore itself apart and 300,000+ protestors stormed the buildings in The White March, leading to a reorganization of Begium LEOs (meaningless).
Puzzle #1:
Dutroux's arrest on car theft charges
Marc Dutroux was arrested on 6 December 1995 on
car theft charges and subsequently jailed for four months.
[39] During those three months, Lejeune and Russo, undiscovered by police, died of starvation and dehydration in their dungeon cell, as the wife of Dutroux did not feed them, despite being aware that they required her care to remain alive
^^^Shitty wikipedia article.
The girls actually lived in their cells for months, obviously being tended by someone while Dutroux was jailed. That person never was found.
Puzzle #2
After the trial (_years_), seized porn tapes (including Dutroux's rape of various victims) were revealed to _NOT_ have been used as evidence. This fact pointed to a ring of accomplishes, most never identified. Survivors came forward in 2004
Régina Louf.
[3] X1 said that from the age of 11/12 onwards a family friend named Tony Van den Bogaert took her to sex parties with the approval of her family. Several witnesses and family members of Louf confirmed that she had a sexual relationship with Van den Bogaert starting from at least age 12. However, Van den Bogaert has never been interrogated, charged or convicted for sexual abuse. She claimed that other minors were present at the sex parties and that those were secretly filmed for
blackmail purposes. She said:
"It was highly organised. Big business. Blackmail. There was a lot of money involved." During her testimony she described some regular clients including judges, a prominent politician and one banker. She gave the police names, addresses and detailed description of two murders that matched unsolved cases of the two murders of teenage girls. Louf said that the parties did not only include sex but also sadism, torture and murder.

Does a good job poking at the (now obvious) hints at a European sex-trafficking ring.
In 1999, it was unthinkable. Now, with Epstein, Maxwell, etc, we expect it.
