The Committee on Legal Affairs proposes that Parliament waive the immunity of Fulvio Martusciello, a Member of the European Parliament, in connection with Belgian criminal proceedings alleging corruption linked to Huawei.

Committee position. The Committee on Legal Affairs proposes to waive the immunity of Fulvio Martusciello.

Key points

  1. The Belgian Federal Prosecutor requested the waiver on 16 April 2025 over alleged corruption, part of a broader investigation into a criminal organisation influencing EU institutions.
  2. Martusciello allegedly supported drafting a letter to Commissioners on 5G policy, was its first signatory, and was allegedly paid through complex financial circuits to corruptly influence politics.
  3. He allegedly furthered Huawei's interests by tabling amendments to a draft resolution on EU competition policy and facilitating student participation in the Huawei Academy to gain re-election votes.
  4. The alleged offence does not relate to opinions expressed or votes cast in parliamentary duties under Article 8 of Protocol No 7, and no evidence of fumus persecutionis was found.
  5. Parliament decides to waive Martusciello's immunity and instructs its President to forward the decision to the Belgian authorities and to Martusciello.

Who is affected

  • Fulvio Martusciello, Member of the European Parliament, subject to criminal proceedings in Belgium after immunity waiver.
  • The competent authorities of the Kingdom of Belgium, which will receive the decision.

Legal basis: Articles 8 and 9 of Protocol No 7 on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union, and Article 6(2) of the Act of 20 September 1976.
