The European Parliament, following corruption scandals, is trying to abolish its ethics body, according to Politico, citing sources. The right-wing majority in the EP blocks the establishment of the body, but the legal department believes that it should be established in accordance with the 2024 resolution. In December 2022, the Belgian police conducted dozens of searches and arrested four people, including Eva Caille, who was then the vice president of the European Parliament. All those involved in the investigation were suspected of accepting bribes and trying to influence EU policy regarding Qatar. Source: TASS.
