At least eight people were charged by the Belgian prosecutor – including one of the oldest executives in Huawei in Europe – active corruption, money laundering and criminal organization, after a series of police raids in locals in Belgium, France and Portugal.
Huawei is listed as a member of 22 associations of the European Union transparency register, which follows business lobbying activities. Several of them, such as Digitaneurope, Busineseurope and the European Internet forum, have already moved to suspend Chinese society in response to the corruption scandal.
Several other organizations told Politico at the end of March that they “monitored the situation closely”. Some have taken measures to be distant in recent weeks.
At Solarpower Europe, Huawei representatives still occupy key roles, but the organization has reduced “non-member financial commitments”, previously confirmed a spokesperson for the association. Solarpower Europe did not immediately respond to the request for an update on his work with Huawei.
Think Tank Cerre, who has Huawei as a member, previously said that he had the situation “under a close exam”. He refused to comment on this article.
The European Cybersecurity Organization (ECSO), where Huawei is still listed as a member, examines the status of the company with the results expected on April 29, he said in a comment.
