The recent charges are part of a larger investigation known as 'Qatargate', which delves into corruption and interference within European institutions.

As part of this investigation, three political advisors linked to the Social Democratic group (S&D) in the European Parliament have been charged with involvement in a corruption scheme.

Judge Aurélie Dejaiffe, who is overseeing the Qatargate investigation, is currently heading to the Brussels Court of Appeal.

Notably, the indictment was announced just days before the appeal chamber convened on January 6, 2025.
