Madani Bouhouche (June 14, 1952 – November 22, 2005) was a Belgian gendarme, and associate of the far right who was convicted of two murders, but strongly suspected of committing a third and attempting several more.
He organised a small circle of like minded men of police and even professional background into a self sufficient gang that carried out at least one multi million dollar robbery, and the initial stage of a bizarre extortion plot that a notorious and still-unsolved series of multiple murder robberies had echoes of.
A lifelong gun fanatic, he repeatedly retained and then was caught with illegal weapons that implicated him, with his final downfall coming when he shot dead the head of a family of diamond merchants that he and his partner apparently tried to rob.
Although he always denied any involvement and passed a polygraph, Bouhouche became the subject of enduring suspicions about what he might have been able to reveal about mass shootings by the still unidentified Brabant killers.
