European Parliament Head Plans Firewalls Against Corruption

The European Parliament will build “firewalls” and “ring alarm bells earlier” to prevent cases of corruption like the one involving allegations of bribes being paid to lawmakers related to Qatar and Morocco, its head said.

“What I want to make sure is that whoever is in this house even being tempted to do that will know that the measures we are putting in place are ones that will deter,” European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said in an interview Wednesday on Bloomberg TV. “They will get caught.”
