Proposed EU Justice Commissioner facing corruption allegations in Belgium. Bribes in Congo, illegal arms deals to Libya, 40M Euro corruption in building a police HQ.
Sounds like the kind of guy a Swamp would want in charge of "Justice"

In addition to his nomination for EU Justice, Didier Reynders is the Belgian foreign minister, deputy prime minister and defence minister. Seems like a busy guy... 
His right hand man Fontinoy seems very busy too, serving in his cabinet, running the Belgian state run railway, & allegedly had free time to handle bribery & corruption negotiations.
The allegations come from a former officer in Belgium's financial intelligence unit that gathers information on organized crime & money laundering.
He resigned earlier this year and filed allegations with the police based upon the information he saw while doing intelligence work.

Huh, they were using "art sales" as a way of hiding the bribes. We have certainly seen that before...
There are also accusations that counterintelligence agents were participants in the corruption too.
Apparently the police HQ corruption was red flagged by analysts in 2010-2011, but their version of the OIG is just getting around to auditing the project. Announcing in August that 40M Euro were part of 'serious irregularities'. So bribes & corruption!
Again disguising bribes as payment for art.
Interestingly our suspect has been trying to pass a law in Belgium to make it illegal to print such information exposed by whistleblowers.
