Count Maurice Auguste Lippens
Count Maurice Auguste Lippens is a Belgian banker who co-ran Societe Generale in the 1980s and attended Bilderberg meetings; he and his brother Count Leopold Lippens were named in the Marc Dutroux X-Dossier investigation by multiple witnesses.
Maurice Robert Josse Marie Ghislain, Count Lippens, was born on May 9, 1943, in Knokke, Belgium. He is the younger brother of Count Leopold Lippens, who served as mayor of Knokke-Heist for over four decades. Maurice Lippens became a prominent figure in Belgian high finance, co-directing Societe Generale through much of the 1980s and attending Bilderberg meetings as a regular participant..1
X-Dossier Allegations
Maurice Lippens and his brother Leopold were named by multiple victim-witnesses in the X-Dossier, the compilation of testimonies assembled during the investigation into Marc Dutroux by magistrate Jean-Marc Connerotte.
A witness identified as X2 described child abuse parties organized at Maurice Lippens's villa in the Knokke area, as well as events involving underage girls at the Cromwell hotel in Knokke. Among those named by X2 as present at these events were Leopold Lippens, Belgian politician Etienne Davignon, Karel Van Miert (later European Commissioner), and Paul Van Gheluwe.2
The primary X-Dossier witness, X1 (Regina Louf), described both Lippens brothers as participants in the same elite networks of organized abuse that she identified as extending to hunts at country estates and involving other named public figures including Paul Vanden Boeynants and Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin.3
Belgian authorities did not bring charges against Maurice Lippens on the basis of the X-Dossier testimonies. The investigating team was replaced in 1997 following the controversial removal of magistrate Connerotte. The X-Dossier summary was subsequently leaked to journalists and released through WikiLeaks in 2009. Lippens denied the allegations.2
