Editing Marc Dutroux (section)

=== Statements by Senator Anne-Marie Lizin ===
Belgian Senator [[Anne-Marie Lizin]] commented on the case, saying: "Stupidity (by the police) can't be the only explanation. It's a question of stupidity, incompetence and corruption. Dutroux must be a friend of somebody important. Or else he was being protected because he was known to be a police informant." Lizin said Dutroux was not a true pedophile, as he has been portrayed. He had a record of dealing in stolen cars, selling arms to hoodlums and trafficking in prostitution. ''"''When he discovered that men paid a lot more for little girls for prostitution, he started kidnapping them'',"'' she said. When Dutroux finally was arrested, police found in his house video films of him raping little girls. They said he did this so he could sell the films to pedophiles''.''<ref name="chicagotribune">{{cite web |last1=Moseley |first1=Ray |title=Child Sex Case Adds Outrage To Scandals Rocking Belgium |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/1996/10/27/child-sex-case-adds-outrage-to-scandals-rocking-belgium/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20170831072111/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1996-10-27/news/9610270253_1_marc-dutroux-minister-willy-claes-jean-marc-connerotte |url-status=live |archive-date=31 August 2017 |website=chicagotribune.com |date=27 October 1996 |publisher=Chicago Tribune |access-date=9 November 2019}}</ref>
