BRUSSELS - A key suspect in a corruption case that rocked the European Parliament has cut a deal with Belgian authorities, agreeing to share details on an alleged cash-for-influence scheme - and potentially exposing more European Union dirt - in return for a lesser sentence.
Pier Antonio Panzeri, an Italian politician who was an elected member of the E.U.'s legislative body from 2004 until 2019, signed a memorandum with Belgian officials on Tuesday, admitting his role in the alleged fraud and promising to name names, including "the identity of persons he admits to having bribed."
