---
Achats Services Commerces, known by its acronym ASCO, was a secondhand car exporting business owned by [[Michel Nihoul]] that operated white Mercedes vehicles linked to child abduction attempts. The company's manager was [[Jean-Louis Delamotte]], an old acquaintance of Nihoul from the Brussels sex party scene. Other founders included [[Michel Forgeot]], manager of [[Le Dolo]] bar, and [[Marleen De Cokere]], Nihoul's life companion. After only four years, financial difficulties led to bankruptcy in October 1995.[^1]

The La Louviere police had indications a year before [[Marc Dutroux]] was arrested that ASCO, which maintained a number of white Mercedes through a branch, might have played a role in attempted child abductions. [[Michelle Martin]] and [[Michel Lelievre]] both stated that Dutroux kidnapped girls based on orders from Nihoul, using ASCO vehicles for transport. X-witness testimony in the [[X-Dossier]] described the ASCO premises as a site for abuse parties where children were brought by Nihoul and assaulted by attendees including [[Jean-Paul Dumont]], [[Michel Vander Elst]], [[Baron Benoit de Bonvoisin]], [[Melchior Wathelet]], and [[Paul Vanden Boeynants]].[^1]
