Belgian Aldermen Overpaid €21k Due to Administrative Error; Municipality to Reclaim

Three aldermen in Brasschaat, Belgium, were overpaid a total of €21,461 over several years because the personnel department failed to adjust compensation when they took on additional employment. The municipality attributes the overpayment to human error and will reclaim the funds. This is a local administrative and financial oversight matter with no broader geopolitical or market implications.
