Simply crazy: In the EU corruption affair, the release of Eva Kaili should be negotiated.

But a strike intervened.

The Greek remains in custody.

Brussels – Postponed instead of lifted: No decision has yet been made on the further detention of the European politician Eva Kaili, who is suspected of corruption.

The hearing planned for Wednesday (December 14, 2022) has been postponed to next week.

The reason for this is a strike in the prison where Kaili is being held, as her lawyer André Risopoulos told the Belgian newspaper

L'Echo

.

That is why she could not be taken to the Brussels Palace of Justice.

The mother of a daughter remains in custody.

Vice President of the European Parliament:

EU corruption affair: Eva Kaili and her partner remain in custody after the EU raid – strike prevents hearing

The 44-year-old Greek Kaili is one of six suspects who has been caught "in flagrante" and arrested in Belgium since Friday in the corruption scandal involving the European Parliament.

The Belgian judiciary issued arrest warrants against her and three others on Sunday.

They are accused of involvement in a criminal organization, money laundering and corruption.

It is said that the Gulf Emirate of Qatar, which is currently hosting the soccer World Cup, tried to influence political decisions in the European Parliament with gifts of money and goods.

Her partner Francesco Giorgi is also among those arrested.

Kaili has since been removed as Vice President of the European Parliament.

Kaili has maintained her innocence through her attorney.

"Her position is that she is innocent.

It has nothing to do with the flow of funds from Qatar, nothing at all,” Michalis Dimitrakopoulos 

 clarified on the Greek TV channel

Open the day before.

The investigators had allegedly seized several bags of money during the searches.
