King Albert II's lawyer reacts: "He is not summoned for a DNA test next week"

Belgium

The affair between Delphine Boel and King Albert II makes a great noise.

The judgment of the Court of Appeal of October 25 recognized that Jacques Boël is not the biological father of Delphine Boël. As a result, the search for parentage was found to be well-founded. The judgment ordered the retired Sovereign to undergo a genetic test within three months.

according to Het NieuwsbladKing Albert II and Delphine Boel were summoned to Erasme Hospital next week. And this, in order to submit to the DNA test.

Mr Alain Berenboom, lawyer for King Albert II, refers, for his part, to "Inaccurate information: The King is not being summoned next week for a DNA test." He thinks that Delphine Boël spontaneously took steps. He emphasizes that a test DNA "is not done in the presence of all concerned".

However, he does not specify whether his client would submit to it or not.
