Inside the Huawei corruption scandal that rocked Brussels
The Huawei corruption scandal has cast a long shadow over Brussels. Several individuals have been charged over allegations that lobbyists for the Chinese tech giant bribed Members of the European Parliament. Investigative journalists Simon Van Dorpe, Alexander Fanta and Lisanne van Vucht have revealed exactly how Huawei’s lobbying campaign in the EU went rogue – and shed light on the man accused of pulling the strings. After Qatargate rocked Brussels in 2022, this latest bribery probe raises fresh questions about whether the EU is doing enough to root out fraud and corruption.
