European Prosecutors Investigate EU Commission Over Major Property Sale to BelgiumThe European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) has launched an investigation into the European Commission surrounding a significant real estate transaction involving the sale of multiple buildings to the Belgian state. According to official confirmations, the European Commission is cooperating fully with the EPPO and Belgian authorities. By divesting older office buildings, the Commission expects to contribute to urban renewal efforts while optimizing its operational efficiency. Neither the European Commission nor SFPIM have been formally accused of wrongdoing, and both organizations have reiterated their willingness to support the investigation. The Commission maintains that the sale complied with all applicable standards and that the process was subjected to the necessary oversight mechanisms.
