Constitutional Court annuls prohibition on teaching by former police officers in the private investigation sector
On 17 July 2025, the Constitutional Court rendered a significant judgment annulling a discriminatory provision of the Act of 18 May 2024 concerning private investigation, i.e. the new statute governing the activities of private detectives. The Court held that the prohibition preventing former police officers – during the three-year period following termination of service – from teaching in the private investigation sector constituted discrimination in comparison with active police officers, who remained authorized to undertake such teaching activities.

Gaming Advertising Regulation in Belgium
The omnipresence of gaming advertising—across broadcast media, digital platforms, sporting events, and urban environments—reflects its deep integration into public life. This constant presence poses serious risks to public health and social well-being. By attracting new players, encouraging existing ones to gamble more frequently and intensely, and increasing the risk of relapse among those with gambling addictions, such advertising fuels a troubling cycle. Moreover, it helps to normalize gambling by portraying it as a harmless leisure activity that is socially and culturally acceptable. This distorted image makes gambling appear more appealing and accessible, especially to vulnerable groups such as minors, young adults, and individuals struggling with addiction. This phenomenon raises significant concerns on both individual and societal levels. In this article, we discuss the Belgian legal framework for gaming advertising and sponsorship, the potential sanctions, and more specifically, the reactions and prospects from the perspective of the Belgian sports and gambling industry.
