Huawei’s EU office reportedly raided over European Parliament lobbying scandal
Belgian police raided offices linked to a European Parliament lobbying scandal, with Huawei Technologies reportedly at the center of the investigation. Several individuals were arrested for questioning regarding "active corruption," forgery, and the use of false documents, according to the Belgian Federal Prosecutor’s Office.
The alleged corruption, disguised as commercial lobbying, reportedly involved offering remuneration for political positions, excessive gifts like travel and food, and invitations to football matches since 2021. News reports indicate that the investigation began two years ago following a tip-off from the Belgian secret service, with raids targeting Huawei's EU office and the homes of its lobbyists.
