It was reported, that the Belgian Ambassador was recalled after his wife was caught in a second assault altercation. In May of this year, CCTV emerged of the Belgian Ambassador’s wife, Xiang Xueqiu slapping a shop assistant. Staff at the store believed that Mrs. Xiang may have been shoplifting and wanted to check her clothing. Police decided to not pursue charges at the request of the victim.
More recently, Mrs Xiang was involved in an altercation with a street cleaner. Police did not pursue charges; the Belgian Ambassador is returning home immediately.
