Soldiers and police officers in Belgium may have held an orgy in the midst of the hunt for terror suspects in the weeks following the Paris attacks, the BBC reports. According to the New York Times, the orgy was allegedly held sometime between Nov. 21 and Nov. 26—when the country was on its highest alert level—at a Brussels police station near the neighborhood where a number of the Paris attackers lived. At the time, the city was locked down, with schools, businesses, public transportation, and more closed, the BBC reports. A Belgian newspaper reported the allegations Tuesday, and police have launched an internal investigation.

Soldiers were sleeping at the Brussels police station in question for two weeks while helping patrol the city, the BBC reports. At some point after the station closed for the night, two female police officers allegedly went upstairs to where the soldiers were sleeping and had sex with eight of them, according to the Times. Alcohol was reportedly involved. “All these people have been working closely together for weeks now, often doing long hours,” a Brussels police commissioner says, though she wouldn't comment on the orgy accusations specifically. “We have developed a very good working relationship with the army.” Brussels police were already being criticized for their handling of the hunt for the Paris attack suspects even before news of a sex party started circulating. Quartz reports a Belgian soldier was caught with a shopping bag last week while he was supposed to be on duty looking for terrorists. (More Belgium stories.)
