Belgian intelligence has wiretapped a corporate box at Anderlecht's stadium, where Huawei lobbyists allegedly sought to bribe European Parliament members. The investigation, which began in March, has led to requests for lifting the immunity of several MEPs, though none have been charged. Huawei denies any wrongdoing, emphasizing its commitment to legal compliance.
Belgian authorities have requested the European Parliament to lift the immunity of five MEPs amid an investigation into alleged corruption linked to Huawei. The case, known as "HuaweiGate," involves accusations of influence-buying through gifts and financial incentives, with two MEPs confirming their involvement. The investigation also extends to eight other lawmakers who previously supported Huawei's interests in 5G development.
Five individuals have been charged in a corruption investigation linked to Huawei, with four facing charges of active corruption and criminal organization, while one is charged with money laundering. The Belgian Federal Public Prosecutor's office confirmed that new searches were conducted at the European Parliament, following allegations that Huawei lobbyists bribed EU lawmakers to advance the company's interests. Huawei has stated it takes the allegations seriously and will cooperate with investigators, with the corruption believed to have begun in 2021.
The European Parliament is embroiled in a corruption scandal involving Huawei, with allegations of bribery linked to political positions and lavish gifts. Belgian prosecutors are investigating incidents from 2021 to the present, leading to police raids and the sealing of offices associated with implicated parliamentary assistants. Huawei has stated it takes the allegations seriously and is committed to cooperating with the investigation.
