Huawei is under scrutiny for allegedly bribing members of the European Parliament to gain favorable treatment. Police operations in Belgium and Portugal have resulted in multiple arrests connected to corruption, forgery, and money laundering. Authorities have focused on the involvement of over a dozen parliamentarians since 2021, following similar issues in the 'Qatargate' scandal. Offices of several parliamentary assistants, particularly those linked to Marco Falcone and Nikola Minchev, were sealed during the investigation. Belgian police executed searches at Huawei's Brussels headquarters and various homes.

The European Union has previously warned its members about potential security risks associated with Huawei equipment. Transparency advocates criticize the European Parliament for fostering a 'culture of impunity'. Despite these serious allegations, Huawei has not yet commented on the situation. The investigation has raised significant concerns about the influence of foreign entities within EU institutions and the integrity of its members.
