The European Parliament has banned Huawei lobbyists amid a bribery probe. Authorities are investigating alleged bribery benefiting Huawei.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Parliament has banned Huawei lobbyists from entering its buildings, a spokesperson for the parliament said on Friday, as authorities probe suspected bribery that could have helped the Chinese tech giant.
"On March 14 the parliament decided, as a precautionary measure, to suspend the access to parliament of representatives attached to the Huawei company with immediate effect," said the spokesperson, confirming a report in Politico.
Belgian prosecutors this week said they had detained several individuals over suspected bribery in the European Parliament allegedly for the benefit of Huawei.
The Chinese company said on Thursday it took the allegations seriously and would urgently communicate with authorities to fully understand the situation.
"Huawei has a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption or other wrongdoing, and we are committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations at all times," it said.
