 Strasser is involved in a corruption scheme devised by two ''Sunday Times'' journalists. According to Austrian news magazine ''Profil'', the journalists introduced themselves as businesspeople from London and asked him to make changes in an EU bill concerning protection of investors, possibly in exchange for money.<ref>''Kurier'', "[http://kurier.at/nachrichten/2080926.php Strasser ging falschen Lobbyisten auf den Leim], 12 March 2011, accessed 16 March 2011.</ref> On 4th February 2011, Strasser sent his fellow MEP [[Othmar Karas]] the draft prepared by the journalists. Karas rejected the draft without asking any questions.<ref>Schmid, Ulla, "[http://www.profil.at/articles/1110/560/291354/ernst-strasser-korruptionsverdacht Ernst Strasser unter Korruptionsverdacht]," ''Profil'', 12 March 2011, accessed 16 March 2011.</ref>
 Strasser rejected the claims about the business deal and having talked to the businesspeople about a change in the bill. He stated that he never took money from the company.<ref>''oe24'', "[http://www.oe24.at/oesterreich/politik/Strasser-Affaere-wird-zu-EU-Krimi/20120400 Strasser- Affäre  wird zu  EU-Krimi]," 12 March 2011, accessed 16 March 2011.</ref>
