“The three individuals were formally notified of the accusations against them,” said a statement Wednesday from the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) a day after their detention in Brussels. “The accusations concern procurement fraud and corruption, conflict of interest and violation of professional secrecy.”

“They were released, as they are not considered a flight risk,” the prosecutors’ office added.
