Scandal the European parliament tried to keep secret...

The European Parliament’s £1.5 billion budget is beset by the abuse of staff perks and expenses, nepotism and the wasting of taxpayers’ money...

A series of reports by the parliament’s internal auditor found that significant breaches of the rules were common among the 7,000 unelected officials who work for the EU’s assembly.

Staff are allowed to authorise their own expenses and pay allowances to family members, despite the auditor warning of the risk of “conflicts of interest”.

The reports, covering three years, identify instances of officials being given double payments or allowances to which they are not entitled.

 Officials are failing to secure the best value for money for taxpayers when awarding contracts, while extensive funds are being given to the assembly’s political parties without any proper audit of how it is being spent, according to the reports. Full story...

Don't miss:

  2. EU to spend £1bn on pensions for retired eurocrats!!!
