He got a very big fine.

So while he was in appeal, he was kidnapped.

Because there are certain things that he wanted politically that he couldn't do anymore because his name was in disrepute.

So this is a big thing in Belgium.

Well, you know, he lost his good name.

And because of the tax fraud, he couldn't run for mayor for Brussels, for example.

He couldn't run.

for politics and so he was kidnapped and a month later he came back and he came back wearing sunglasses he was extremely dramatic he made this big story you know how he his kidnappers he lost weight and everything and kept him in a basement and um

I don't know how, but everybody was, they made a song about this press conference.

It was like the most widely attended press conference in the country.

And his good name was restored.

It worked.

Overnight, because he came back, he became the big national hero.

And then accidentally somebody went after the kidnappers and then came on the trail of this gangster.

Who then got, eventually was caught in spite of, you know, once he wasn't, was known and caught, he wasn't protected anymore.

So then he ended up wanting to speak out at his trial and he just ended up committing suicide like three weeks before the trial, hanging himself.

He was almost as tall as you.
