Belgium is investigating rapes and sexual assaults on over 40 women whose drinks were spiked during nights out, according to prosecutors.
Three bar managers in the northwestern city of Kortrijk have been identified as the main suspects.
The prosecutors believe that drugs were mixed into the women's drinks, including ketamine, which is an anesthetic.
The investigators suspect that the three bar managers discussed the attacks with each other.
There are already 41 victims identified for the period between December 2021 and December 2024, and the investigation continues to potentially identify others, says Griet De Prest, spokesperson for the prosecution authority.
