Le Monde: Two Belgian brothers and a Chinese spy
Chinese spy Daniel Woo regularly exchanged messages with former Belgian MP Frank Creyelman, soliciting him for confidential information and to speak positively about China. Woo aimed to influence Europe's stance on the Covid-19 pandemic, the Uyghur minority, and pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, offering Creyelman trips to China and payment in cryptocurrency. Creyelman used his connections to promote China's interests within European and Belgian institutions.
After the revelations, Creyelman was expelled from the Vlaams Belang party, while Belgian authorities were unable to prosecute him for espionage. The scandal prompted discussions on updating Belgian law to criminalize interference. Creyelman's brother, Steven Creyelman, distanced himself from Frank, but evidence suggests he may have been aware of his ties with China.
