European Parliament members call on the European Commission to include corruption risks related to encrypted assets, opaque ownership structures, and digital tools in its anti-corruption strategy. The European Parliament passed a non legally binding resolution on Thursday outlining the policy priorities of the strategy. Members of parliament call for strengthening the tracking, freezing, confiscation, and recovery of criminal proceeds, as well as improving public procurement, conflict of interest, lobbying, and political financing rules, and enhancing protection for whistleblowers and investigative journalists. The European Commission plans to adopt its first anti-corruption strategy by the end of 2026, which will supplement the EU anti-corruption directive that will come into effect in May.
