Brussels man in hat

Faycal Cheffou , the only person charged specifically in relation to the Brussels bombings, has been released due to lack of evidence.

Brussels Attacks ‘Suspect’ Faycal Cheffou Freed Due to Lack of Evidence

Belgium on Monday released the sole suspect prosecutors had arrested directly in relation to the Brussels terror attacks.

Belgian media had cited police sources in saying Cheffou was the “man in the hat” seen in airport surveillance footage from just before the attacks. However, a new appeal issued by police Monday seeking help identifying that suspect appeared to cast doubt on the reports saying Cheffou was the man in question.

Early Monday, Belgium’s federal prosecutor announced that three people had been charged with participation in a terror group. It did not say whether the suspects — identified only as Yassine A., Mohamed B. and Aboubaker O. — had ties to any particular plot.

The handling of the case by Belgian authorities continues to be questioned.
