Elio Di Rupo has faced several controversies throughout his career: In 1996, during the Dutroux affair, Di Rupo was accused of paying a minor for sex. He categorically denied these allegations and was completely vindicated. On June 10, 2026, real estate firm NOVO Holding filed a criminal complaint against Di Rupo for alleged corruption, influence peddling, and conflict of interest regarding a 2018 share sale in the company Land Invest. Plaintiffs allege Di Rupo used his influence to force the sale to a specific group, supported by secret recordings of his associate, Luc Joris. Di Rupo has denied all involvement, calling the claims scandalous and unfounded. He filed a defamation complaint against NOVO Holding and Luc Joris and reports he was the victim of blackmail involving these recordings. The judicial investigation is in a preliminary phase.
