An EU court has shredded Ursula von der Leyen’s attempt to bury her Pfizer text messages, fuelling a no-confidence push in Parliament and a public “Time to go” broadside from Hungary’s Viktor Orbán. Billions in COVID-19 contracts, opaque SMS diplomacy and a fresh compliance defeat now hang over Brussels’ top office. Pfizergate comes after von der Leyen.

Allegations of money laundering, corruption, and abuse of power are swirling around Didier Reynders, the former EU Commissioner for Justice and a key figure in Ursula von der Leyen’s European Commission.

FinTelegram has reported several times between 2018 and 2019 about illegally operating German payment processors that supported binary options and broker scams. Among these illegal German payment processors were P2P GmbH and B2G GmbH. EFRI filed money laundering charges against the two companies; German prosecutors subsequently filed charges and seized €2.5 million of P2P bank accounts in 2019 but, to date, failed to make restitution payments to victims. On the contrary, the millions will remain with the German state for a long time: a scandal but this time on the side of the German prosecutors and courts.
