Huawei Technologies Co. executives would likely have known about — and signed off on — alleged bribes to European Union lawmakers in 2021, according to Belgian judicial authorities.

A lobbyist for the Chinese telecoms giant is accused of funneling bribes including offering a €15,000 ($16,200) fee to a member of the European Parliament for a letter promoting the company’s interests. An additional €1,500 was offered to other lawmakers who co-signed it.
