EU corruption scandal: European Parliament president reacts | DW News

Authorities searched offices of the European Parliament on Monday as part of an investigation into alleged corruption, Belgian prosecutors said.

Kaili was arrested Friday after police allegedly found "bags of cash" in her home.
