"Qatargate"/ Belgium issues arrest warrant for former Greek
Dimitris Avramopoulos

Belgium has issued an arrest warrant for former European Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos as part of its investigation into the corruption scandal known as "Qatargate", which has rocked EU institutions.

The news was confirmed by a Greek government official and was also reported by Belgian and other media in Greece. The investigations, launched in 2022, are related to suspicions that several EU officials have taken bribes from Qatar to influence decision-making and policies of the bloc. “Qatargate” is considered one of the biggest corruption scandals to involve European institutions in recent decades.

During the investigation, Belgian authorities conducted searches and seized around 1.5 million euros in cash, including an amount found in a suitcase at a Brussels hotel. Avramopoulos, a Greek national who served as European Commissioner for Migration until 2019, is currently a member of the Greek parliament for the New Democracy party. Investigators have focused on his links to a non-governmental organization founded by Antonio Panzeri – a former member of the European Parliament and a central figure in the “Qatargate” scandal – through which the former commissioner is suspected of receiving monthly payments of 5,000 euros.

Belgian authorities are accusing him of participating in a criminal organization, while the alleged financial gain amounts to around 73,000 euros. Avramopoulos has strongly denied the accusations, describing them as “completely unfounded”, while adding that he will request the lifting of his parliamentary immunity and that he has asked the Greek Ministry of Justice to fully investigate the matter and come up with a fair decision.
