AntwerpNever has a lawyer from Antwerp abused the trust that clients placed in him so shamefully as former lawyer Marc Gadisseur (63) of Merksem. After three years of investigation, he is accused of defrauding 84 customers for a total of nearly € 10 million. Jean Mertens (89) was among the victims. “In the beginning the collaboration went well, but suddenly everything had to go very quickly.” Gadisseur spent the money on expensive cars, villas in Kapellen and Spain and a luxury yacht. The Bar Association has put an end to the abuses for years.
