There have been negotiations over the last two weeks between the family of the fugitive pedophile and the Cambodian government. The private banker felt chased and his family feared that Ceulen wouldn’t survive Cambodian imprisonment.

It was agreed between Cambodia and Prosecutor General’s Office in Antwerp that Ceulen would be extradited to Belgium after his arrest. Relatives reported that “Pieter Ceulen is on his way to Belgium at this very moment”.

Establishment of a new European online reporting platform

Under the project “Don’t Look Away”, coordinated by ECPAT France, a new European platform for reporting cases of child sexual exploitation abroad has been created. This website enables individuals to report suspected cases of child sexual exploitation even if they are abroad through providing links to existing national online reporting mechanisms. Where no national reporting mechanism exists, this website will provide alternative information on how to report.
