EU embroiled in ‘visas for bribes’ scandal as visas allegedly handed to migrants

Poland has allegedly handed out as many as a quarter of a million visas in exchange for cash bribes. As a result, the EU has found itself in a ‘visas for bribes’ scandal, as the EU Commission scrambles to find out what’s gone on, reports GB News. The visas have been apparently issued to migrants from Asia and Africa by consulates in return for bribes of several thousand pounds each. Now the Home Affairs Commissioner for the European Commission, Ylva Johansson, has written to Poland’s Foreign Affairs Minister Zbigniew Rau, warning Poland that it could be in breach of EU law by irresponsibly handing out the visas. Johansson wrote: “Which structural measures are you taking, so as to ensure that the system is protected against any possible fraudulent or corrupt behaviour?”
