Members of the entourage of a former European Commissioner—himself being probed for alleged money laundering—are now caught up in the ongoing investigation.

Former Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders, who played a central role in politically motivated infringement proceedings against the conservative governments of Poland and Hungary, is now accused of having concealed hundreds of thousands of euros that he may have illegally obtained.

Authorities have investigated Didier Reynders since last year over the origins of nearly one million euros in his accounts.

Belgian prosecutors are re-examining ties between the EU’s former justice chief and Putin ally Oleg Deripaska after raids on his properties.

It appears Belgium’s biggest corruption scandal might be even larger than previously thought.

Authorities allege that Reynders, who served as Belgium’s foreign minister and an EU commissioner, used lottery winnings to disguise over €800,000 in suspicious funds.

Didier Reynders, von der Leyen’s former ‘rule-of-law’ chief, is under investigation for laundering money through the Belgian lottery system.

Brussels says the country’s foreign influence law goes against EU values, despite the EU launching a similar package last year.

The annual Rule of Law Report chides the sovereigntist governments but praises the leftist cabinet of Poland.

EU institutions continue waging lawfare on conservative government for ideological reasons
