[EXCLUSIVE] Leaked WhatsApps between ex-EU commissioner Reynders and senior Belgian spy reveal attempts to bury allegations of his possible Russia ties

Belgian intelligence official Hugues Brulin communicated with EU commissioner Didier Reynders about internal matters, which are now part of a police investigation into Reynders for money laundering and potential collusion with Russia. Brulin allegedly aimed to prevent investigations into Reynders' ties to Russia and discussed strategies against a whistleblower. Reynders, a prominent politician, faced charges after a police raid in December 2024, raising concerns about security within Western alliances if found guilty of corruption.
