HLN RESEARCH. Rest home director (61) from Bierbeek embezzles millions of its residents through so-called luxury real estate: “A bandit who goes over the corpses of vulnerable seniors” | Leuven

LEUVENDozens of very elderly people staying in the Ter Korbeke residence in Bierbeek have been misled and defrauded for millions of euros. At the suggestion of Ivan VL (61), director of Ter Korbeke, they invested their last savings in the so-called luxury real estate of an investment fund. Research by Het Laatste Nieuws and VTM Nieuws now shows that it is most likely an organized crime. Now that VL is in jail, his victims are also in danger of losing their service flat. “225,000 euros from my mom is gone. I cried about it yesterday.”
