EU corruption scandal: European Parliament president reacts | DW News

Authorities searched workplaces of the European Parliament on Monday as component of an investigation into claimed corruption, Belgian district attorneys stated.

A European Parliament vice head of state, Eva Kaili, and other legislators have been linked in the rumor.

Kaili was detained Friday after cops presumably discovered “bags of cash” in her house.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola on Monday described the rumor as an “attack” on EU freedom.

” The adversaries of freedom, for whom the really existence of this parliament is a threat, will certainly quit at absolutely nothing,” Metsola told EU legislators in Strasbourg, France.

She condemned “malign actors connected to autocratic third countries,” claiming they had “purportedly weaponised NGOs, unions, individuals, assistants and members of the European Parliament in an effort to subvert our procedures.”
