EU Investigations: EPPO in Action#

The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) has been formally investigating since October 2022 for potential interference, corruption, or conflicts of interest in connection with the SMS deal.

The motion against von der Leyen was filed by several member states, citing:

  • Lack of transparency in vaccine procurement
  • Potential conflicts of interest
  • Abuse of power in EU decision-making

The European Union deserves leaders who operate with full transparency, especially when making decisions that affect hundreds of millions of citizens.
