European Parliament robber got €50,000
Source: EU Observer

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The bank heist at the European Parliament in Brussels on Thursday scooped €50,000, with police still looking for the robber on Friday.

"The bank services have said it was about €50,000," a parliament official told EUobserver. "The police haven't caught him. Our security services are looking at all the camera images and are in contact with the police."

Eyewitness accounts indicate that a man disguised as a woman attacked the ING bank on the ground floor of the Paul Henri Spaak building at around 4pm local time and fled up the central stairwell.

The incident has started a lively debate about parliament security arrangements, which are handled by the multinational G4S company.
