Part 6: The Auction That Should Never Have Happened

Image
  In this video, Batch 6 focuses on an auction procedure in which ING, according to the case file, started a public auction against the former owners while the properties were already registered in the name of the Belgian State. The video raises questions about the role of ING, the notary, the bailiff and the lack of transparency surrounding the auction. The land registry showed the Belgian State as the owner, yet the auction procedure continued against the former owners. What happens to homes, equity and property rights when an auction goes ahead while the official ownership records point to someone else? Who checks this, who intervenes and who takes responsibility?
