The Agusta - Dassault Case 13

From left to right: Guy Spitaels, Luc Wallyn, Johan Delanghe and François Pirot. Sometimes, while drawing, I was watched by the defendants which was a little unnerving

 

In 1998 I was the courtroom artist for the Belgian newspaper Le Soir. It was for the big trial The Agusta-Dassault Case. It was one of Belgium's most infamous trials of the century, some of the country's most senior political figures had been sucked into a scandal extending from bribery to money-laundering, forgery and possibly even murder. It was one of the best jobs I ever had. Sitting in that courtroom for days and drawing was very exciting.
