A major scandal is unfolding in Europe as a judicial investigation has been launched against Didier Reynders, former Belgian Minister and EU Commissioner for Justice, for alleged money laundering related to lottery winnings. The Brussels prosecutor confirmed the investigation into Reynders’ cash purchases of lottery tickets, which reportedly served to disguise suspicious bank deposits. The investigation, ongoing for months, coincides with Reynders’ upcoming departure from his post, raising significant ethical concerns about political transparency in the EU.
