Widespread harassment and fraud revealed in EU institutions

A report has revealed widespread harassment and fraud among officials in the European Union. It details nearly 100 investigations into misconduct, including sexual harassment and theft, with many cases resulting in minimal punishment. The Investigatory and Disciplinary Office of the Commission reported 88 new cases last year, leading to only one dismissal. Serious penalties were rare, with some officials receiving warnings or minor sanctions for inappropriate behavior. The report highlights issues like a money-laundering scheme and officials stealing from colleagues. It also notes that some officials faced little consequence for their actions, raising concerns about accountability within the EU institutions.
