A passerby surprised, through the large bay windows of the new administrative center on rue de Stalle, two people having sexual intercourse in the open space in Uccle.
An investigation is open
If the situation is made fun of, on the side of the municipality of Uccle, we laugh. “It’s a problem. It’s surreal, assures Mayor Boris Dilliès. We will analyze all of this. I am going to ask the municipal secretary to launch an internal investigation, because it is inconceivable.“
After an initial analysis carried out by the municipality of Uccle, the video does not date from yesterday, but dates back to more than a year ago. “To my knowledge, the video was not known to our services. We rely on the cutting of the trees to date the video”adds the mayor of Ucclois. The administrative center being recent – it was inaugurated in October 2022 – the evolution of the greenery has evolved significantly since then, making it possible to find the period when this video was filmed.
Risk of dismissal and legal action
As for the municipality of Uccle, we do not intend to stay there. People visible in the video and having had sexual relations in the offices of the municipal administration could suffer the consequences. Several degrees of sanctions are possible. The “weakest” would be a simple reprimand but employees are exposed to more serious punishments, which could range from withholding of salary to dismissal for serious misconduct. Given that the scene took place within a public building, the choice of sanction will fall to the municipal college of Uccle.
However, it will be necessary to determine whether they are indeed municipal employees. It could be that this scene is the work of people working for a subcontractor called by the municipality of Uccle for various tasks.
On a legal level, the Sexual Penal Code has just been reformed, indicating that prosecution is possible for this type of case. The people visible in the video could be accused of voyeurism, indecency, as well as exhibitionism, particularly if the act was committed in a public place or accessible to the public, which could be the case of the center administrative office of Uccle. These offenses are punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine of up to 500 euros.
This story recalls an episode that occurred in the Brussels outskirts near Hoeilaart in 2013, when an extramarital affair of the First Alderwoman at the time, Els Uytterhoeven, leaked, being caught in the middle of an romp within the municipal house.
