DETAILS/ What is hidden behind the arrest of Mogherini, the former EC
Federica Mogherini

Former European Commission Vice-President Federica Mogherini was one of three people arrested by Belgian police on Tuesday in a wide-ranging fraud investigation into the funding of an academy in Bruges for young diplomats, two people with knowledge of the investigation told Euractiv and its partner De Standardaard.

Belgian police have raided the EU diplomatic service, the College of Europe and private homes as part of an investigation into suspected misuse of EU funds, according to people familiar with the investigation and witnesses.

A spokesman for the College, where Mogherini has been rector since 2020, said he did not know whether she had been arrested and declined to comment further.

Mogherini headed the European External Action Service (EEAS) from 2014 to 2019 and has been director of the Academy since 2022.

Another College of Europe employee, involved in the executive education department, was also detained.

Senior European Commission official Stefano Sannino was also detained.

Sannino was previously Secretary General of the EEAS under Mogherini, during the period when the Diplomatic Academy was created.

He is currently director general of the Commission's department for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf.

The Commission confirmed that police were present at the EEAS buildings on Tuesday, as part of an ongoing investigation into activities carried out during the previous mandate.

He declined to provide further information, as an investigation is ongoing.

“ Half an hour ago, I was informed about what is happening in Bruges ,” said Herman Van Rompuy, the former president of the European Council, who is now president of the administrative council of the College of Europe in Bruges.
