Overview

In this Flemish detective series, the Dutch title of which means in the act, notably "in flagrante delicto", a team of the Belgian (national) police lead by John Nauwelaerts investigates serious crimes, often against the clock as victims sometimes may still be in danger. Special attention is also given to the legally necessary, but sometimes frustrating, interaction with the judicial authorities, other police forces (this inefficiency required a major reform in reality), various experts and lawyers.

Overview

A terminally ill baby is abandoned in Brussel's busy Northern rail-station. An anonymous inquiry for it starts the team's hunt for the ruthless Yugoslavian human traffickers, who sell often stolen children for adoption. Ambiguous parts are played by would be-parents and naive idealist Claude Adams. The case also allowed the new CO, Luitenant Gino Capellen, to introduce undercover cop Kristien Rosier while veteran Sylvain is incapacitated by multiple leg-injuries.
