Islam versus Europe

Bart Debie supplied information on the internal operations of Vlaams Belang to the State Security Service for three years, he declared to the daily newspapers De Standaard and Het Nieuwsblad.

"I was recruited as an informer in 2007. Until my resignation from the party in 2010, I met someone from the intelligence services almost every month," declared Mr Debie who at that time was a key figure in Vlaams Belang.

Bart Debie is in particular said to have provided information concerning financial support for Vlaams Belang.

He decided to speak about his role as an informer following declarations made by the Minister of Justice, Annemie Turtelboom, who state recently that the State Security Service was not involved in spying on members of parliament.

The head of the State Security Service, Alain Winants, did not want to comment on the statements made by Bart Debie.
