A journalistic investigation revealed that Didier Reynders, former EU Commissioner for Justice, engaged in private WhatsApp conversations with a high-ranking Belgian intelligence official to manage political fallout from allegations of ties to Russia. The messages, spanning from 2019 to 2023, are now part of a Belgian police investigation into money laundering accusations against Reynders. These discussions indicate a close coordination to obstruct official inquiries, including advice on countering whistleblower claims. Reynders faces serious allegations, including laundering approximately 1 million euros, and the leaked messages complicate the situation, suggesting potential corruption within the intelligence service responsible for EU and NATO security.
