Lobbyists for Huawei are accused of having funneled tens of thousands of euros to members of the European Parliament who supported a letter in favour of the Chinese tech giant, according to a leaked document from the corruption investigation. The Chinese management of the company’s EU operations is suspected of having endorsed the scheme.

Actually the worse is that we keep getting them elected and letting them get away with it probably.
