Soap around ex-Miss Belgium and Dutch fry boss reaches boiling point, woman in jail

The quarrel between Jacobus Perdaems and Ilse De Meulemeester started about ten years ago. The Dutch Antwerp resident, owner of the well-known chip shop N° 1 on the Antwerp Grote Markt, thought he had a relationship with the ex-Miss Belgium. He says he showered her with gifts, Porsches, jewelry and money for a total value of 2.8 million euros. Six months later, however, De Meulemeester broke off the friendship. In her eyes, there had never been any question of a relationship.
