Ilias Mahyou’s family was still making a desperate appeal on Tuesday to find him a new liver. The 26-year-old from Antwerp, who was at the top of the European transplant list, died on Wednesday evening at the university hospital in Ghent. He will be buried in Morocco.

A Dutch national of Moroccan origin was sentenced by the Ghent Court of Appeal in Belgium to 12 years in prison for setting up a drug trafficking network. He is accused, along with his cousin, of having sold more than 210 kilos of heroin, and of causing the death of 3 people who died of overdose.
