Huawei Scandal Deepens as EU Moves Against MEPs
A key European Parliament committee has backed requests from Belgian prosecutors investigating alleged Chinese lobbying and influence operations in Brussels.

A key European Parliament committee has backed requests from Belgian prosecutors investigating alleged Chinese lobbying and influence operations in Brussels.

Huaweigate continues to unfold, implicating several MEPs from different political groups.

Unless things change, the EU may as well be a “province of China,” according to a leading industrialist.
European Parliament representatives were placed under a surveillance operation by Belgian police for allegedly colluding with the Chinese tech giant.

The request, which has not yet been officially published, exclusively targets members of the Parliament’s three establishment political groups.

Belgian federal police searched homes and offices linked to the Chinese tech giant over the 1 May holiday.
The Chinese company official was represented in a Belgian court on Tuesday.
The Belgian prosecutor’s office has charged eight people in connection with the Huawei-related corruption probe involving the European Parliament.

Investigation is progressing rapidly while the European anti-fraud office refuses to look into the case.
Could Brussels be waking up to the anti-bribery initiatives of local prosecutors?
