> Why is the police of a single country authorized to investigate EU parliament members just because of the geographical location?

The EU is not a nation. It doesn't have a police. Crimes do not take place on its territory, because it has none. So then it'll fall onto the Belgium (or French) police.

Wrt to the rest: just asking questions, right?

1) Because the crimes are alleged to have occurred in Belgium. That's how jurisdiction works.

2) This is the opposite of convenient. EU would prefer a good working relationship with China given the issues with the US.

3) It was started because there are allegations of corruption.

4) Because no crimes have been committed.

5) Why not ? BlackRock is a global investment bank. It's going to have employees.

Eva "Cash" Kaili. Part two.

You're never going to get rid of bribery and corruption entirely, unfortunately. Greed is way too strong a motivator. Hopefully people actually getting arrested and charged for it makes people think twice though.
