Investigators are reportedly looking into private text messages between the European Commission president and the CEO of Pfizer.
The EU’s top prosecutors have taken over an ongoing corruption investigation into European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Politico reported on Monday citing an unnamed spokesperson for the Liege Prosecutor’s Office in Belgium.
The probe relates to the purchase of nearly two billion Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine doses for the EU at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. The prosecution claims the EC chief negotiated the multi-billion-euro deal with the pharmaceutical giant’s CEO, Alber Bourla, in private via text messages before clinical trials for the vaccine were completed.
Von der Leyen has refused to disclose the content of those messages, claiming she cannot find them.
Investigators from the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO), who have been working on the case for the past few months, reportedly believe that Von der Leyen may be guilty of “interference in public functions, destruction of SMS, corruption and conflict of interest,” according to legal documents seen by Politico.
Despite the allegations and von der Leyen herself admitting that she privately communicated with Bourla for nearly a month before signing the nearly €20 billion ($21.5 billion) deal, no formal charges have yet been brought against the EC chief.
The case has been supported by the governments of Poland and Hungary, which have also filed official complaints about Von der Leyen’s role in the vaccine negotiations, Politico’s sources said. The outlet noted, however, that Warsaw moved to withdraw the complaint after Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s pro-EU government came to power last year.
The New York Times, which first reported in 2021 that private conversations between Von der Leyen and Bourla had indeed taken place prior to the signing of the vaccine deal, has also filed a lawsuit against the EC for refusing to disclose the content of the text messages and turning down a request for access to documents.
The case against the EC chief has garnered “extremely high public interest,” according to EU officials, amid concerns that the bloc purchased significantly more Covid shots than were necessary.
In December last year, Politico reported that EU states had dumped at least 215 million doses, which had cost taxpayers as much as €4 billion ($4.3 billion). Despite this, the vaccines will continue flowing to the EU under the contract with Pfizer, at least until 2027.
Huge financial scam organized by the J. and their corrupted lower life ( so called ” elites”)

All european tax money flowing to jewish banking through both scams.
You will earn nothing he said…..
Corrupt bast***s!
It’s unreal the covering up that goes on by officials when they are caught deceiving and harming the public by their actions.
Von der Leyen is a wretch of a woman, if there is a hell I hope she rots in it!
This should be interesting…..especially if it suddenly falls silent and stops being reported upon…..
This whole pandemic nonsense is becoming a clown show. There is too much evidence..Too many blood clots found iby undertakers.. There has been too many deaths. The globalists have lost the propaganda war. The pupet leaders are all but done. It is criminal, it is murder,. It is not going away. To put it as bluntly as I can, leaders must choose between proper open investigation, justice and penalites or face world wide civil justice that could verywell lead to some very nasty outcomes.
