Bags of money found at homes….well we all knew that the EU is an utter disgrace…hypocrisy and crime are rife….much more to come out.

Corruption in the EU? No way. I'm not having that. Here when are they going to investigate the ongoing corruption in MEPs expenses that have never been signed off?

One corrupt MEP has been caught. I’m sure the other 704 are panicking.

I always said the EU was a cesspit of corruption.

Hopefully, the EU will confiscate everything the guilty one has, along with money from immediate family members, let then spend a good time in Jail and never see a single penny in pension. The behavior of these individuals is utterly discussing and more disturbing would be the acceptance of such behavior..

Many Experts agree this case is just the tip of the iceberg ,and many decisions about the Ukraine War , about Sanctions and Energy Prices and Weapons Companies , Donations and Crypto Currencies for Kiev, etc. , have been heavily influenced by Political Donations, Cash like in this case, High – Paying Jobs for Family members, Vacations also like in this case , Apartments and Hotels , stock options , shopping sprees , etc . The EU Parliament is corrupt and the problem is that the Committee or Inquiry group that will be established is made of the same or other compromised operatives .Notice that so far not a word about the Lawyers, Lobby's, Advisers and own Qatar individuals have been exposed . In the Ukraine War Money machine there are at least 10 large Lobby's, Lawyers, Advisers and Bankers involved , imagine the " action " behind closed doors .

Pardon us Brexiteers if we do take a little comfort in these revelations. Corruption was prominent in the reasoning of more agile thinking vote Leavers Saying. # I Told You So# . This is what happens when you live in the imaginary Land of collective Eldorado.
There is always a spoiler.
