Google translation:

The Dutch businessman Pieter Ceulen (60) is appealing against the imprisonment of 19 years he received for the rape of minors. Reported that the Antwerp justice.
Just before Cologne flee the country in January, the court had the heaviest in years imprisonment handed down in Belgian sex shop: nineteen years in prison, three years more than what was requested by the prosecutor. The prosecutor's office reported that the businessman is appealing against the ruling.
The Antwerp court Ceulen felt guilty for years sexually abusing three of his four foster children in Cambodia. He was also found guilty of the rape of several Filipino babies, some barely two years old. He also collected under the nickname Pieter0167 than 400,000 pornographic pictures and movies.
By day he made a successful investment adviser and happily married family man. His double life came to light after a tip from the FBI.
It is the second time that one of the nation's largest pedophiles can fly silently to Cambodia.

I hope they increase the sentence.

He's not very fucking appealing to me.

This news comes from local Belgian TV station ATV. Kris Luyckx, lawyer in the case representing Child Focus. He applied to get the Cambodian nationality before the verdict on 21.1.16.

De 60-jarige man uit Antwerpen die twee weken geleden tot 19 jaar cel werd veroordeeld voor seksueel misbruik van kinderen in de Filipijnen en Cambodja, heeft de Cambodjaanse nationaliteit aangevraagd. Dat meldt de Antwerpse regionale tv-zender ATV. België heeft geen uitleveringsverdrag met Cambodja.
De zakenman was nog voor de uitspraak van het vonnis gevlucht en kon nog niet gevat worden. Mogelijk zit hij in Cambodja. "Hij is daar kort na de uitspraak gesignaleerd in een van de huizen waarvan hij eigenaar is. Dat is zo ook aan mijn cliënt bevestigd", zegt advocaat Kris Luyckx aan ATV. Luyckx treedt in deze zaak voor Child Focus op, dat zich burgerlijke partij stelde.

"Wat we ook weten is dat hij nog voor de uitspraak op 21 januari de Cambodjaanse nationaliteit heeft aangevraagd. Mogelijk probeert hij zo zijn straf te ontlopen. Er bestaat geen uitleveringsverdrag tussen België en Cambodja. Als hij inderdaad de Cambodjaanse nationaliteit zou verwerven, zou dat betekenen dat hij nooit aan België kan worden uitgeleverd", zegt Luyckx.

De zakenman heeft intussen ook beroep aangetekend tegen zijn veroordeling. Zowel het Antwerpse parket als de burgerlijke partij zijn hem daarin gevolgd. Het parket en de advocaat van de zakenman wilden geen commentaar geven op het nieuws van de nationaliteitsaanvraag.

That is similarly attached to my client," said attorney Kris Luyckx on ATV. Luyckx appears in this case to Child Focus on that allowed plaintiff.

"What we also know is that he has requested the Cambodian nationality to rule on January 21. Possibly he tries so to escape punishment. There is no extradition treaty between Belgium and Cambodia. If he indeed would acquire Cambodian nationality, would mean that he can never be extradited to Belgium, "said Luyckx.

The businessman has meanwhile appealed against his conviction. Both the Antwerp prosecutor and the civil party have followed him there. The prosecutor and the lawyer of the businessman declined to comment on the news of the citizenship application.

Ceulen must have big connections and a lot of spare dough if he thinks he can get Cambodian citizenship.

No warrant yet for pedo thought to be in country

Siem Reap police say they are waiting on an arrest warrant from the National Police before taking steps to locate and apprehend convicted Dutch pedophile Pieter Ceulen, who Siem Reap residents placed in town 11 days ago, the very day he was sentenced in Belgium.

The apparent inaction comes amid unconfirmed claims by Ceulen’s lawyer that he is seeking Cambodian citizenship.

So far, neither Belgian nor Cambodian authorities have confirmed that Ceulen, who is wanted by Interpol and owns properties in Cambodia, had returned to the Kingdom.

However, according to neighbours living on the same street in Siem Reap, he was seen arriving at his villa on January 21, the same day he was sentenced in absentia to 19 years in prison by a Belgian court for sexual assault and producing child pornography in Cambodia and the Philippines.

Though Ceulen has been wanted by Belgian authorities since 2012, his neighbours in Siem Reap say they never saw law enforcement come by the villa, even after word of his conviction began to circulate.

Despite an Interpol Red Notice being put out, law enforcement authorities in the Kingdom appear to have done little to arrest the internationally wanted predator.
