Jean-Denis Lejeune is the father of Julie Lejeune, abducted along with Mélissa Russo in Belgium on 24 June 1995, and imprisoned in Marc Dutroux's cellar.
His dismissal and end of the investigation resulted in a massive protest march (the "White March") of 300,000 people on the capital, Brussels, in October 1996, two months after Dutroux's arrest, in which demands were made for reforms of Belgium's police and justice system.
As Justice Minister he had, according to David Canter, "encouraged the early release of many sex offenders" which included the later murder-convicted Marc Dutroux.
