The lottery dismisses Didier Reynders’ explanation for his compulsive betting spree totaling 800,000 €.
Could the Kazakhgate cash, missing for 12 years, finally resurface? Reynders’ betting activity began shortly after his bank demanded an explanation for the source of large amounts of cash flowing into his account. By agreeing to retain only 60% of the initial sum, this technique enables the discreet laundering of cash with an unclear origin. For instance, €1 million in questionable funds could yield €600,000 in "clean" money, presented as electronic lottery winnings.
