The EU Aims to Enhance their Anti-Corruption Protocols.

Yesterday, the European Union announced new measures to combat Anti-Corruption. This comes after a recent scandal involving allegations of influence peddling between members of the European Parliament and Qatari government officials. According to a report in The Guardian, the EU executive body plans to criminalize abuse of office, illicit enrichment, and obstruction of justice in cases of misconduct. One of the primary aims of this proposal would be to make it easier for police forces to work together in solving cases across the EU involving transnational criminal groups. This is just a proposal, and despite its importance, it may never come to fruition due to internal European politics.
