Personal emails of Belgium’s prime minister given away to newspaper

Hackers leaked the personal emails of Belgium's Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo to De Morgen newspaper. The messages date from 2004 to 2008, before he became prime minister in 2011. “The emails were mostly of a private nature, although some did refer to his political activities” while he was, at the time, president of Belgium's socialist party. The newspaper did not publish the emails.

Officials with Belgium's Federal Police said they would not investigate until Di Rupo files a report with the agency. Di Rupo said he had not decided if he will submit a report. "I will examine this thing step by step ... I want to draw lessons out of this bad experience," Di Rupo said.
