[European Parliament Members Push to Include Crypto Assets in Anti-Corruption Agenda] Odaily Planet Daily News – Members of the European Parliament are urging the European Commission to incorporate corruption risks related to crypto assets, opaque ownership structures, and digital tools into the upcoming anti-corruption strategy. On Thursday, the European Parliament adopted a non-binding resolution outlining the policy priorities of the strategy. The members also called for enhanced measures to track, freeze, confiscate, and recover criminal proceeds, as well as improvements to public procurement, conflict of interest, lobbying, and political financing rules, while strengthening protections for whistleblowers and investigative journalists. The European Commission plans to adopt its first anti-corruption strategy by the end of 2026. This strategy will complement the EU Anti-Corruption Directive, which came into effect in May and harmonized the definitions of corruption offenses and minimum penalty standards across member states.
