Roger Boas, a Belgian industrialist, owned [[ASCO Industries NV]], an aerospace company in Zaventem near Brussels, implicated in the [[X-Dossier]] for alleged snuff film production. The X-Dossier claimed Boas's factory served as a studio where children were tortured and killed for films, with witness [[Regina Louf]] (X1) describing the location as a site for violent pornography involving dogs and blood spots cleaned with Dettol. Boas, a prominent businessman, was named in the dossier as part of elite networks, with the factory's basement used for these acts. Investigations under Judge [[Jean-Marc Connerotte]] and Prosecutor [[Michel Bourlet]] verified the site's layout and smell, but no physical evidence of films was found. Boas denied all accusations and was not charged.[^1] Boas's ownership of ASCO Industries NV positioned the company in industrial circles, with the Zaventem factory as a site for alleged abuses. The X-Dossier detailed X1's memories of being taken there for torture and filming, describing rooms where children were abused and killed, with blood cleaned afterward. The factory's location near Brussels tied it to the network's operations, with X1 providing maps leading to the site. The dossier, leaked in 1997, included claims of snuff films produced for wealthy clients, with Boas named as a participant. No direct evidence beyond X1's testimony linked Boas to the crimes, but the factory was raided during the investigation.[^1] Boas's industrial role included connections to political and business elites, aligning with the X-Dossier's allegations of elite involvement. The factory's use for snuff production was claimed by X1, with descriptions of equipment and rooms matching the site's layout. Boas's denial came amid the probe, with no charges resulting from lack of physical evidence. The X-Dossier summary noted the factory's role in the network, with X1 detailing hunts and orgies at estates of figures like [[Count Leopold Lippens]]. Boas's ownership made him a target in the investigation, though he maintained the company's legitimate aerospace activities.[^1] ### Role in X-Dossier Boas was accused by X1 of hosting or allowing the use of ASCO Industries NV for snuff films, where children were tortured in the basement. X1 described being taken there by [[Michel Nihoul]], with acts involving dogs and multiple abusers. The dossier claimed the factory was equipped for filming, with blood spots cleaned using Dettol, matching X1's recollections. Bourlet's team verified the location and layout, but no films or remains were discovered during raids. Boas denied the allegations, attributing them to fabrication. The X-Dossier linked the factory to the network's operations, with X1 providing specific details of rooms and smells.[^1] The investigation under [[Jean-Marc Connerotte]] included searches of the factory, uncovering no evidence but confirming X1's description. The dossier detailed X1's memories of being abused there, with the basement as a site for violent acts. Boas's ownership tied the company to the elite circles alleged in the X-Dossier, with connections to CSP politicians. No financial trails or documents linked Boas directly to trafficking or pornography production.[^1] ### Connections Boas connected to the network through the X-Dossier's claims of snuff production at his factory, with X1 alleging participation in abuses. The site was linked to [[Michel Nihoul]]'s parties and the broader ring involving [[Jean-Paul Dumont]] and [[Paul Vanden Boeynants]]. Boas's industrial position aligned with the elite, with no direct ties to [[Spartacus International]] documented. The investigation examined the factory's role, but lack of evidence limited outcomes. Boas denied involvement, with the claims remaining testimonial.[^1] Boas's company, ASCO Industries NV, was raided, but no films found. The X-Dossier summary reiterated X1's descriptions, with the factory as a key site. Boas's connections were through the alleged events, with no prosecution following the 2004 trial barring X-witness testimonies.[^1] ### Legal Outcome Boas faced no charges from the X-Dossier allegations, with X-witness testimonies barred from Dutroux's 2004 trial due to reliability concerns. The 1997 leak of the dossier detailed his name, but no prosecution followed. Boas denied the claims, with the case closing without formal action against him. The 2005 Wikileaks summary reiterated the accusations, but no legal repercussions occurred.[^1] ### Footnotes [^1]: Dovey, S. (2023). Eye of the Chickenhawk. United States: Thehotstar.
