Jean-Claude Van Espen was a Belgian judge assigned to the reopened investigation of the [[Christine Van Hees]] murder from 1984 after [[Jean-Michel Nihoul]] was named as a suspect in 1996. Van Espen was a close friend and business partner of Nihoul but failed to recuse himself from the case. His conflict of interest was brought to light by a journalist two years later, in 1998, at which point he finally stepped down from the case.[^1]
