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.
The European Commission has severed all ties with lobbying groups linked to Huawei amid a corruption scandal involving several lobbyists, including a senior executive from the company. This unprecedented move, supported by key parliamentary factions, may lead to Huawei's expulsion from the EU market. Additionally, the European Parliament has suspended Huawei lobbyists' access to its facilities, while discussions are underway to ban the use of Huawei devices within EU networks. Despite the company's claims of zero tolerance for corruption, its future in Europe remains uncertain.
Five individuals have been charged in a bribery investigation linked to Huawei Technologies, following raids in Belgium and Portugal. The charges include active corruption and money laundering, with allegations of discreet lobbying efforts benefiting Huawei since 2021. The investigation has raised concerns about foreign interference in the European Parliament, prompting calls for stricter regulations on high-risk vendors in telecom infrastructure.
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky's push for NATO membership remains unfulfilled despite his extensive diplomatic efforts in Brussels. While NATO members reaffirmed that Ukraine's path to membership is "irreversible," significant reservations persist, particularly regarding ongoing conflict and potential escalation risks. Zelensky did secure some financial commitments, with NATO Secretary General Rutte noting that over half of the promised 40 billion euros has been disbursed.
