Art photo

The picture is an art photo called 'La Douce II' by photographer Laura Baudoux. The image appeared on Cobra.be in February in response to the programme 'the Canvas collection - La CollectionRTBF', the two public channels' amateur art competition.

"The cobra.be website is created from the same technical platform as the VRT news site. As a result, investigators were initially directed to deredactie.be," reads a press release. "When the page is displayed, images are automatically saved on the computer as 'temporary internet files'."

One of the press leaks reported that on Cardinal Danneels' personal PC, which was seized in the 24 June searches, a photo had been found of a young girl crouching naked in a shower.
