Brussels prosecutors have opened a judicial inquiry into a business services firm operated by Anderlecht local officials Marcela Gori and Achille Vandyck. The probe follows earlier media disclosures regarding dozens of deregistered and liquidated companies registered at the firm’s address, though the exact contours of the ongoing investigation remain undisclosed.
A judicial inquiry is currently examining the activities of one of two companies directed by local political figures Marcela Gori and Achille Vandyck. The couple holds equal shares in both ventures, while Achille Vandyck has served as the sole administrator of both entities since 2025. The ongoing legal scrutiny centers on their dual commercial footprint in the Brussels region.
M.A. Solution and M.A. Solution Business at the Center of the Brussels Inquiry
The business portfolio managed by the couple of liberal politicians comprises two distinct structures. M.A. Solution operates as a real estate agency acquiring commercial office space for lease, whereas M.A. Solution Business functions as a business center providing domiciliation services and administrative assistance to client companies.
While the exact scope of the judicial information remains confidential, the Brussels public prosecutor’s office confirmed that an investigation is active. According to reporting, authorities refuse to release further details to guarantee the effectiveness of the proceedings. Legal analysts note that an information procedure serves to gather evidence and facts before deciding whether to close the file, initiate direct prosecutions, or request an examining magistrate.
Previous Disclosures on Domiciled Companies and Anti-Washing Concerns
The current legal step follows prior revelations concerning the administrative history of the business center. Reports published earlier indicated that M.A. Solution Business had hosted 108 companies whose addresses were subsequently canceled, alongside 45 entities that were liquidated, dissolved, or pushed into bankruptcy over recent years.
Anti-money laundering specialists interviewed anonymously in earlier reporting pointed out that shell companies and phantom entities serve as frequent instruments for criminal networks seeking to launder illicit assets. High concentrations of corporate liquidations at a single shared address represent a recognized indicator of potential financial irregularities.
Response from Marcela Gori and Achille Vandyck
The political figures have forcefully pushed back against the implications surrounding their business operations. Marcela Gori serves as the vice-president of the CPAS and acts as interim president of the Foyer anderlechtois, while Achille Vandyck holds the position of alderman in Anderlecht with responsibilities including demography, alongside his role as vice-president of the local MR party branch.
In the wake of the initial press coverage, the couple characterized the figures as normal operational metrics for a commercial business center and announced plans to file as civil parties against what they termed defamatory allegations. Addressing the opening of the judicial inquiry, Marcela Gori indicated that the procedure likely stems from an outside complaint filed with prosecutors.
Marcela Gori noted, via Le Vif, that once a denunciation is made, the prosecutor’s office may initiate a judicial inquiry.
For his part, Achille Vandyck expressed complete calm regarding the ongoing investigative steps taken by the Brussels magistrates.
Achille Vandyck, via Le Vif, offered no further attributed statement in that section.
He noted that police visits to business centers to verify compliance of hosted companies are standard practice, adding that their business complies fully with all legal obligations.
Jurisdictional Split and Broader Political Context in Anderlecht
The formal investigation is managed exclusively out of the Brussels judicial district, which corresponds to the registered office of M.A. Solution Business located in Ixelles. Meanwhile, the couple’s real estate entity, M.A. Solution, maintains its registered seat in Sint-Peters-Leeuw, falling under the jurisdiction of the Halle-Vilvoorde prosecutor’s office, which has not opened a corresponding inquiry.
This legal scrutiny unfolds against a backdrop of local political friction. Anderlecht’s social housing company, the Foyer anderlechtois, remains the subject of a parliamentary inquiry committee examining suspected administrative irregularities involving socialist politician Lotfi Mostefa. Both Marcela Gori and Lotfi Mostefa have actively vied for the leadership of the housing association amidst the ongoing political dispute.
