On Wednesday, the New York Times reports, police officials in Brussels confirmed that they had begun an investigation into earlier reports of an orgy, involving eight soldiers and two policewomen, amidst the November manhunt for Islamic State operatives trying to get out of Europe following the Paris attacks.

“I cannot give more information on the internal investigation, because it is ongoing and because investigations into the Brussels police force are highly complicated,” the Brussels-West police spokeswoman told the Times.

“Right now, we don’t know the extent of the investigation yet. Maybe officers from other zones are implicated, and I don’t want to set off an internal fight by commenting on police officers from other zones. Internal investigations into the Brussels police are, as a rule, highly complicated and very sensitive.”

Meanwhile, Ilse Van de Keere, the police commissioner for Brussels-Capital, which oversees the center of the city, and is adjacent to the Brussels-West district, said that she would “absolutely not comment about anything that happened on another territory.”

“We all read the newspapers, just like anyone else, and are aware of this story about an orgy between police officers and army soldiers,” Van de Keere said.

“All these people have been working closely together for weeks now, often doing long hours,” she continued. “We have developed a very good working relationship with the army.”

Belgian news publication La Dernière Heure had previously reported that several police officers from the division where about 20 Belgian soldiers were temporarily barracked said their female colleagues were “toutes chaudes et toutes folles” at the idea of sleeping with the military men.
