Poland Is Going To Reveal Papers On Corrupt MEPs Who Fell Under Russian Influence

The Prime Minister of the country made a statement.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said his government would soon publish documents on Russian influence on MEPs.

The Prime Minister said this in an interview with i.pl.

In December 2022, public opinion in the EU was stirred up by a corruption scandal in the European Parliament. Countries such as Qatar and Morocco have tried to influence the economic and political decisions of the European Parliament through bribes given to top European officials in the European Parliament.

Former MEP, Italian Pier Antonio Panzeri, one of the key defendants in the corruption case, agreed to cooperate with the Belgian investigative bodies in exchange for a reduced sentence.

Mateusz Morawiecki said that the Minister of the Interior will show documents related to the case.

“Today we already know that there were Russian traces of the corruption by MEPs. Our Minister of the Interior will soon show papers regarding the influence of Russian services that corrupted MEPs,” Prime Minister Morawiecki said.

When asked if he was talking about Polish MEPs, he replied that the information concerns several MEPs, but not from Poland.

He added that a lot of people unconsciously fall under Russian propaganda, as in the border protection advisability issue.

“The Belarusian attack on the Polish border due to artificially provoked migration was the first step of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. It was an attempt to undermine the cohesion of the European Union, and also an attempt to destabilize Poland so that when Russia attacks Ukraine, we can no longer accept Ukrainian refugees. This attempt failed, but, unfortunately, there are still political writers and activists on the part of the opposition who do not understand this,” the Prime Minister said.
