Report: Hungary's Fidesz 'bought' Belgian official
By EUobserver
The Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) on Wednesday reported that Hungary's Fidesz Party paid some €150,000 to a Belgian politician as part of a wider effort to weaken a probe by the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe. The money went to a private company managed by former Belgian senator Stef Goris, who used it to conduct "dubious" studies.
