Podcast: Brussels in shock over fraud probe into former EU foreign affairs chief

For the fifth episode of our podcast, "Brussels, my love?", we are joined by Irish author and professor Donnacha Ó Beacháin, Swedish correspondent with Svenska Dagbladet Teresa Küchler and Euronews' own Mared Gwynn Jones.

We dive straight into the corruption scandal that shocked the EU capital this week that saw the former foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini arrested as a suspect in probe into procurement fraud. Donnacha Ó Beacháin said that depending on how it ends, this could be a good news story for the EU as it could serve as a trigger for more fundamental reforms.

We also reflect on the ongoing peace talks to end the war in Ukraine and discuss the Christmas crib scandal that caused a major stir in Brussels this week.
