Armand Van Ghysegham was a book publisher operating under the name Aba-Vangh and the owner of two esoteric bookstores in [[Brussels|Brussels, Belgium]]. Ghysegham appeared to have been the primary focus of the investigation into the [[Abrasax Institute]] rather than the institute itself. Ghysegham seemingly spent much of his time in Thailand. Police went to search one of his bookstores during the [[Abrasax Institute]] raids in December 1996 but found the property vacant with a "for rent" sign. Ghysegham's publishing company Aba-Vangh had declared bankruptcy in 1995, the same year [[John Stamford]] faced trial in Belgium.[^1]
The [[X-Dossier]] contains summary interviews with three of Ghysegham's former employees conducted between 21 December 1996 and 14 January 1997. All three said Ghysegham was a pedophile who frequently visited Thailand for this purpose, and one stated he had been involved in child trafficking. All three said he participated in black mass rituals held at the [[Abrasax Institute]]. Two mentioned Ghysegham had a wealthy benefactor named Dessy who was his mistress, identified as [[Forges de Clabecq]], a member of a wealthy industrialist family who owned a controlling interest in [[Forges de Clabecq]].[^1]
### Connection to John Stamford
Shortly after the interviews with Ghysegham's employees, a note dated 16 January 1997 appeared in the [[X-Dossier]] linking [[John Stamford]] to Ghysegham. The note from PJ Turnhout stated that an anonymous witness said the Stamford file was linked to Dutroux-Nihoul, describing the Stamford dossier as worldwide dissemination of the pedophile idea with trafficking in organs of foreign children on the sidelines. The witness handed over a copy of a VLAN advertisement for Aba-Vangh, identifying Van Ghysegham as a friend of Stamford. The connection between Ghysegham and [[John Stamford]] established a direct link between the [[Abrasax Institute]] and the [[Spartacus Network]].[^1]
