Federica Mogherini, the EU's foreign policy chief until 2019, has resigned from a leading role in Belgium after she was detained for questioning and accused in connection with an anti-corruption investigation, BBC reported.
The investigation, ordered by the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), related to suspected fraud involving the award of an EU-funded training for junior diplomats to the College of Europe.
Ms Mogherini, 52, was head of the highly regarded institute based in Bruges. She was questioned this week along with another staff member at the college and a senior official from the European Commission, Stefano Sannino, according to BBC.
