LThe family of Jozef Chovanek, the Slovak traveler who died after his death in a police cell at Charleroi Airport in February 2018, said he was stunned by the statements of the General of Federal Police Mark de Messenker on Wednesday , Which was the day before the bedroom. .

The latter had suggested that there could still be a delay in initiating disciplinary proceedings against police officers related to this death as a good part of them would not be initiated before justice was pronounced.

“The fact that almost three years after the events and six months after the images of this horrific incident were made public, the disciplinary investigation has still not begun and the risk threshold, therefore, is unacceptable to the family.” Family lawyer in a statement.

According to Mr. D. Mesmikar, the statute of limitations can be avoided by suspending its deadline as long as justice has not questioned the facts, so that possible disciplinary sanctions can be pronounced after a decision. The Disciplinary Authority will consider activating the article allowing this suspension.

Those close to Joseph Chovanek consider it inconceivable that a disciplinary inquiry may be ordered soon, and some have not even begun. The family does not accept that “the complexity of the law can be used to justify inaction”. It asks the concerned authorities to take necessary steps immediately.

In relation to the self-investigation, a reorganization scheduled for February 9 and 11 has been postponed to a later date due to health conditions, the Mons general prosecutor’s office announced on Wednesday.
