There have been several incidents in which EU members or prominent politicians within the European Union have been linked to child pornography. Here are a few examples:

Roberto Maroni (Italy, 2013): Roberto Maroni, a prominent member of Italy's Lega Nord and former Interior Minister, was suspected in 2013 of having a connection to a child pornography case. However, the investigations were later dropped.

József Szájer (Hungary, 2020): József Szájer, a long-time Member of the European Parliament and a prominent member of Hungary's Fidesz party, resigned in 2020 after being caught at an illegal party in Brussels where drugs were found. There were also allegations regarding his possession of child pornography, but these were not confirmed.

Michel Nihoul (Belgium, 1996): Michel Nihoul, a Belgian businessman, was a central figure in the infamous case of child molester Marc Dutroux. Nihoul was convicted of various offenses, including his role in the network that supported Dutroux, although direct links to child pornography were not conclusively proven.
