The European Parliament, amid corruption scandals, is trying to abandon its ethics body, Politico writes and cites sources. The right-wing majority of the parliament blocks the establishment of the body, but the legal department believes that it should be established according to 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 towards Qatar.
