Corrupt large-scale sale of Schengen visas

This procedure addresses reports of large-scale corruption involving the illegal sale of Schengen visas. It aims to investigate how visa systems were bypassed and to strengthen the integrity of the EU's external border controls to prevent fraud.

This affects visa applicants, border authorities, and the member states responsible for issuing visas. The goal is to ensure stricter oversight and prevent criminal networks from undermining EU security.
