STRASBOURG/PRAGUE—European Union lawmakers backed a resolution on Dec. 13 calling on the EU’s executive to act against suspected conflicts of interest involving Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis and halt funding to his former business empire, Agrofert.
Babis, the Czech Republic’s second-richest person, has battled accusations by opponents since entering politics in 2011 but now faces a new challenge as the fight moves into the European arena.
