Is the EU trying to cover up the biggest corruption scandal in its history? | The EU’s Qatargate bribery scandal is being swept under the rug to protect the powerful, warns senior Polish MEP(rmx.news)
The corruption scandal broke in December 2022 with the arrest of [Greek MEP Eva] Kaili. She is suspected of having taken bribes from Qatar, with Belgian police discovering over €100,000 stuffed in paper bags and briefcases during a search of her apartment.
