### The Hypnosis Show and the Captivity
The show was said to have been given by the hypnotist [[Rasti Rostelli]] at the casino in Blankenberge, with Eefje brought on stage and both left disoriented afterward; Rostelli was later subpoenaed to the trial. While held upstairs, the two were said to have been kept out of sight of the [[Operation Othello]] surveillance under [[Rene Michaux]]. Vans registered to Nihoul's company [[Achats Services Commerces|ASCO]] were said to have been used to transport victims, and Lelièvre was said to have described the girls being made to clean tiles. The removal of Judge [[Jean-Marc Connerotte]] in October 1996 was followed by the White March; Justice Minister [[Melchior Wathelet]] had approved Dutroux's early release in 1992. An's father, [[Paul Marchal]], pursued the hypnosis link.[^1]
The commission's chronology records that on the evening of August 22, 1995, at Blankenberge, the two attended a show by the hypnotist [[Rasti Rostelli]] and then took the tram toward Ostend.[^2] The writer S. Dovey wrote that the show was at the casino, that Eefje was brought on stage and both were left disoriented afterward, and that Rostelli was later subpoenaed to the trial; that while held upstairs the two were kept out of sight of the [[Operation Othello]] surveillance under [[Rene Michaux]]; that vans registered to Nihoul's company [[Achats Services Commerces|ASCO]] carried victims; and that Lelièvre described the girls being made to clean tiles. The removal of Judge [[Jean-Marc Connerotte]] in October 1996 was followed by the White March; Justice Minister [[Melchior Wathelet]] had approved Dutroux's early release in 1992. An's father, [[Paul Marchal]], pursued the hypnosis link.[^1]
