Adil B.H., an influencer sentenced on Wednesday to a 17.5-year driving ban for filming himself speeding through Brussels, has mocked his punishment in new videos on social media, Mediahuis newspapers reported on Friday.
In May 2023, the Brussels public prosecutor launched an investigation after several videos emerged online showing the influencer speeding through city streets. An analysis of his Instagram account revealed that Adil B.H. had rented over 70 expensive sports cars, mostly registered in Germany and Poland, driving at speeds exceeding 250 km/hr. and performing dangerous manoeuvres.
He was arrested in December 2023 and spent two weeks in Haren Prison before being released under certain conditions.
On Wednesday, the Brussels police court sentenced him in absentia to six driving bans totalling 17.5 years and fined him €25,600.
Adil B.H. was already facing six driving bans and a conviction for hit-and-run and drug offences but continued to post his exploits online.
His latest sentence appears to have had little impact on him. Within hours, he. had released new videos showing him parking on a roundabout near the Brussels Law Courts with the music of Parisian rapper Lacrim playing in the background, or driving at 170 km/hr through the Belliard Tunnel in Brussels. In another clip, he remarks, “Life goes on, nothing changes.”
These videos have not gone unnoticed by the authorities. A new investigation is underway, and the influencer is actively being sought.
