Belgian prosecutors have launched an investigation into former EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders.
He is suspected of involvement in fraud and potential money laundering schemes. According to a representative of the Brussels Public Prosecutor’s Office, searches were conducted at several locations as part of the case. The investigation began just days after Reynders’ term as EU Commissioner ended.
However, prosecutors declined to clarify whether the case is linked to media reports about alleged money laundering through the national lottery. The European Parliament group Renew Europe, of which Reynders is a member, refrained from commenting, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.
