The Council of State has overruled the city of Sint-Truiden. Last year, the city administration refused a new operating license for the Medusa brothel, forcing it to close. However, that decision has now been provisionally suspended. According to the court, the operator was not given an opportunity to defend himself, meaning the city must review the case.
