March: Belgium issues heavy sentence on former Somali kingpin

A former Somali piracy kingpin was sentenced on Monday to 20 years in prison by a Belgian court, after having been lured to the European country in 2013 for a fictitious film project, the Belga news agency reported.

 

Mohamed Abdi Hassan, known as Afwayne, was suspected of having led the pirates who took hostage the crew of the Belgian ship Pompei in 2009.
