Before It’s News – by Mort Amsel
Translated: On December 3, the body was found on the coast of Ostend and removed from the water. The prosecutor confirmed today that it is Geert Tack, but it is still awaiting further results of the autopsy for the exact cause of death. The results of toxicological testing are not yet known. Parquet floor states that the body showed no outward signs of violence.
In Missing was reported the following on November 15 about the missing Geert Tack: No one could have suspected that the man would not return on Wednesday, November 5th at his wife in their villa Vondelen. Or played there anyway things he had kept hidden from the outside world? Why he had in the weeks before the disappearance sometimes so difficult to get to sleep? Why he did that Wednesday morning his laptop and cell phone at home?
Geert Tack worked as a private banker for ING and managed portfolios of wealthy clients. The Belgian had a lot of respect in the financial world and was known as an up and top professional. His sudden disappearance was also smashed like a bomb. “If Tack himself was having trouble he has managed to keep it well hidden”, say colleagues ..
What makes the matter is that the extra mysterious circumstances under which he disappeared are rather peculiar. Tack had a few weeks earlier his car and drove inelkaar if the garage then take away a replacement car. Oddly enough, he made it much later, shortly before he disappeared, use. The car, a Renault Espace, has been found in Knokke, but Tack missing to date each track. .
Although a desperate act can not be excluded, there are also people who are aware that the missing part of a preconceived plan. From his position Tack had the opportunity to be there – whether or not forced by third parties -. To deal with money from his clients off
It is a hypothesis that being seriously investigated by the federal police, but where colleagues want to know anything. “Something like that would never do,” said one of them certainly. “Geert is a blameless man. So we have to do again with the mysterious death of someone important in the financial world. A thoroughly successful professional who is found dead in the North Sea. Murder or suicide? Geert Tack voluntarily crept in the icy waters of the North Sea or was he given a helping hand by someone?
