Belgium: Craftsman hosts revenge libertine party at client's house after payment dispute
A Belgian craftsman came up with a rather unusual way to get revenge on a customer who refused to pay him for his work.
After completing a painting job at the customer's home, the craftsman was expecting to be paid €650, according to Belgian news outlet DH Les Sports+. However, the client was unhappy with the results and refused to pay.
In retaliation, the craftsman, from Mouscron, posted an online ad falsely claiming that his customer was hosting a sex party in February 2023. The ad included the woman's address and phone number, leading to her being flooded with phone calls, and even having people show up at her home.
Appearing in court, the painter defended his actions, claiming it was just a "heavy joke." He now faces charges of defamation and harassment.
