Manfred Weber and Colleagues Embroiled in Fraud and Corruption Probe 😔

The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) is investigating potential misuse of EU funds related to Manfred Weber's 2019 campaign. Belgian police are questioning three individuals, including two high-ranking aides, about improper payments from the EPP party. Allegations include forgery, fraud, and public corruption. The EPP group denies knowledge of the investigation, asserting compliance with budget standards. The inquiry follows previous investigations into bribery during the 2019 elections.
