Euractiv: New corruption allegations in the European Parliament. The Belgian public prosecutor has asked the European Parliament to lift the immunity of several MEPs, according to the news portal Euractiv. The request is tied to an ongoing investigation into suspected corruption involving the Chinese telecommunications company Huawei. Investigators believe Huawei may have bribed members of the European Parliament to influence political decisions in its favor. Alleged bribes include financial payments, lavish gifts and invitations to exclusive events. The funds may have been disguised as business expenses and funneled through third parties. The accusations also involve money laundering and the formation of a criminal organization. („Belgian prosecutors target MEPs in Huawei probe„)
