BRUSSELS — On a Friday morning last December, Belgian police swooped in on top political figures in a cash-for-influence scandal that would quickly be dubbed Qatargate, unveiling a murky underworld of foreign interference operating at the European Union’s core. The investigation, months in the making, represented the first strike in a high-stakes probe by Belgian prosecutors and carried all the hallmarks of a Hollywood crime caper. There were spies, secret meetings in luxury hotels, a glamorous political couple plunging from grace — and above all, allegations that Qatar, Morocco and Mauritania had reached deep into the EU’s democratic processes by corrupting European parliamentarians with €1.5 million worth of cold, hard cash. Six months on from that fateful December 9, several current and former European parliamentarians along with one assistant have spent time behind bars on preliminary charges of corruption, money laundering, and participating in a criminal ne...
