    Two Euro MPs quit amid lobbying allegations

    A Slovenian Euro MP has resigned after corruption allegations surfaced on Sunday - the second MEP to do so.

    Austrian MEP Ernst Strasser resigned earlier, after the UK's Sunday Times newspaper made the allegations.

    The paper alleged the pair and Romanian MEP Adrian Severin accepted offers of cash in exchange for influencing laws.

    The Sunday Times alleged these MEPs were making an extra €450,000/anum for acting as lobbyists on such laws as the banking reform legislation. They were discovered during a sting operation like the ones you'd see for match fixing soccer players.

    Will the police in Europe arrest someone or what?
