The management of Thomas Cook Retail Belgium confirmed on Monday that it is officially declared bankrupt.

After Thomas Cook Nederland was officially declared bankrupt earlier on Monday, the management of the Belgium branch confirmed that it will also close its doors.

"Despite very intensive conversations with different parties up until the last moment, we could not reach an agreement on the necessary short-term financing," the press release stated.

"The tsunami that the bankruptcy of the Thomas Cook Group caused was too big," reports Bruzz.

In Belgium, 500 to 600 jobs are on the line.
