The head of the European Commission (EC), Wassula von der Leyen, has not yet given evidence to the European Union Prosecutor General's Office (EPPO) in the case of the purchase of Pfizer vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was reported by Politico, citing a source. EPPO began an investigation back in 2024. According to documents seen by the publication, prosecutors are investigating von der Leyen on charges of "interfering with government functions, destroying SMS messages, corruption and conflict of interest." EPPO head Laura Kodroka Kubsi, whose term ends on October 30, told the publication that she had repeatedly had to deal with EU representatives who refused to appear when summoned by her office. "There are politicians who consider themselves above the law. If you are called to testify, you are obliged to appear," she emphasized and refused to refer to specific cases.
