Bribery in Brussels. A scandal that has forced some MEPs to resign. The scoop, revealed on March 22, and some journalists from the British newspaper The Sunday Times that they are fake lobbyists for eight months and have offered bribes to sixty MEPs to push through amendments in the vote. In 4 have accepted it, and anything but mind-boggling figures.
And now comes the response of the Parliament, which has announced to strengthen the code of conduct of MEPs and the rules governing the activities of lobbyists. Response also necessitated by the demands investigation OLAF (Office of the European anti-fraud). The journalists posing as lobbyists have given money to 60 Euro MPs to introduce amendments.
