Police carried out raids on Wednesday in connection to “Russian interference” in the European Parliament, according to a statement by the federal prosecutor, writes POLITICO.

The searches, conducted at a private residence in Brussels and European Parliament offices in Strasbourg and Brussels, are linked to the so-called Russiagate case, where MEPs were approached and paid to promote Russian propaganda via the Voice of Europe website.

“There are indications that the European Parliament employee concerned played a significant role in this,” Belgian law enforcement said.

The EU sanctioned Voice of Europe after the paid-for-propaganda scandal flared up in late March.

Belgium has taken an active role in investigating the Russiagate case because of the European Parliament’s seat in Brussels, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo noted in April.
