Three Charleroi police officers have been arrested on charges including document falsification, embezzlement, breach of trust, and illegal weapon-related activities.

One officer is connected to a group involved in a deadly raid in Lodelinsart where a federal police special unit member was killed.

Officer Jonathan was killed and two others were injured in the Lodelinsart raid, sparking a fundraiser that has collected over 8,000€ for his family.

The incident has raised concerns over the growing boldness of criminals using weapons against law enforcement and the associated risks to officers.

The Minister of the Interior is set to address the issue in parliament as the investigation continues.

The Charleroi police are intensifying efforts to combat gun violence following the raid.
