Qatar corruption scandal at the European Parliament

The Qatar corruption scandal at the European Parliament, also known as Qatargate, is a cash-for-influence investigation into several Members of the European Parliament and their associates, who are accused of accepting cash and gifts from Qatar and Morocco in return for promoting the interests of those countries in the European Union. The scandal broke on 9 December 2022, when police raided properties in Brussels, seized over €1 million in cash, and arrested a number of suspects, including Greek MEP and Vice-President of the European Parliament Eva Kaili and her partner Francisco Giorgi, a parliamentary assistant.
