Nainggolan before court: prosecution seeks two years' imprisonment for money laundering

The trial against sixteen defendants, including former Red Devil Radja Nainggolan, opened on Friday before the 23rd Dutch-language chamber of the Brussels correctional court. This is reported by La Libre.

Nainggolan faces two years' imprisonment for complicity in money laundering proceeds from international cocaine trafficking from South America. The former international player is not being prosecuted for drug offences or participation in a criminal organisation. Between 2024 and 2025, he is alleged to have received approximately €105,000 from one of the suspected leaders of the organisation.

Against the suspected main perpetrators, the prosecution has sought prison sentences of twelve and fourteen years, supplemented by a fine of €800,000. In addition, the prosecution has demanded the forfeiture of €15 million in connection with this case.
