European Parliament pushes for EU powers to sanction corruption

Original: DW News. . The European Parliament wants the EU to be able to sanction people involved in major corruption. Will EU leaders move to make it possible? #dwnews

The European Parliament is calling on the EU to gain the ability to impose sanctions on individuals involved in major corruption cases. The proposal would give the bloc a new tool to punish corrupt officials and their associates, similar to existing human rights sanctions regimes. Attention now turns to whether EU member state leaders and the Council will back the Parliament's push and adopt the necessary measures.

Why now: The Parliament's call puts pressure on EU leaders to decide whether to expand the bloc's sanctioning powers against corrupt individuals.
