The chief prosecutor investigating allegations of bribery involving Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. has ordered two offices in the European Parliament belonging to assistants to be sealed off.

Earlier Thursday hundreds of police carried out 21 searches across Belgium and Portugal, arresting several people over allegations they were involved in “active corruption within the European Parliament, as well as for forgery and use of forgeries. The offenses were allegedly committed by a criminal organization.”
