In more detail

Netherlands

Dutch ministers use AI to draft parliamentary reports

An investigation found that cabinet members are using artificial intelligence to draft their updates for Parliament. The shift to automated communication leaves it untested whether a machine will be any less transparent than a minister.

Portugal

Law firm drafted legislation for client that paid it €637,000

Prosecutors suspect Start Campus paid a law firm over half a million euros to write custom legislation for its data center in Sines. The indicted lawyer then provided a favorable legal opinion on the very diploma they had helped prepare.

Croatia

Secret emergency shelters found without medical supplies

The crisis management ministry confirmed that none of the country's 357 emergency bunkers contain any medicine. The facilities are designed for use during a war or natural disaster, though occupants will apparently have to treat their own injuries.

Italy

Altieri withdraws from anti-corruption presidency days after appointment

Nuccio Altieri withdrew his candidacy to lead the National Anti-Corruption Authority following a legal ruling that he was incompatible with the role. The hasty exit ends a brief confrontation with the prime minister and provides a messy start for a transparency body.

One more thing · Hungary

Communist state security used heavy metal codenames

A newly opened database of communist-era state security informants reveals that prominent historical figures operated under unusual aliases. Agents in the network were assigned codenames ranging from 'Rambó' and 'Adidas' to 'Motörhead'.
