With the status of an electronic bracelet, her detention will continue from now on. Eva Kylie, as the Belgian justice decided today. Her Greek lawyer, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, confirmed the relevant decision of the investigator, stating that “Eva Kylie comes out of prison with her head held high and with dignity. He didn’t confess to crimes he didn’t commit. She will fight for her innocence to the end.”

The former vice president of the European Parliament is likely to be released in the coming days and has been in custody since December, when the Qatargate scandal erupted. Of the total of five people who were charged with criminal charges, only Eve Kylie remained in the Haren prisons.

Authorities yesterday took a similar decision against Belgian MEP Marc Tarabella, and last week accused of being the “mastermind” of a corruption scandal, former MEP Pierre Antonio Pancheri was also put under electronic surveillance. Ms Kylie’s partner, Francesco Giorgi, has already been released since February last year. The last two pleaded guilty.

A 44-year-old Greek MEP, who has not pleaded guilty, was detained on charges of participating in a criminal organization, laundering money and money that she allegedly received from Qatar and Morocco in order to influence relevant decisions in the European Parliament.

Earlier, the decision of the Belgian authorities was confirmed by her Belgian lawyer Sven Marie. “I can confirm to you that Mrs. Eva Kylie has been released by Mr. Klez and can return home under electronic surveillance. I won’t comment further other than the fact that this is a smart decision that has taken too long to make.”

Ms. Kylie is expected to be released from prison next Monday at the latest.

Judgment is not far off

Today’s decision of the investigator was made at the request of her lawyers and came as a surprise, since her hearing was scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, and in fact will take place, as usual, at 9 am. However, this is a formal procedure for several minutes, since it was preceded by today’s decision of the investigator Michel Klez.

However, the continued detention of the Greek MEP with the status of an electronic bracelet does not mean that the investigations of the authorities have been completed either in relation to those brought against her, or in relation to other persons allegedly involved in the corruption scandal, or in relation to possible other persons. In legal circles, even believe that the court is not far off. After all, the defendants have just left the pre-trial detention center and will remain in their homes under restrictive conditions.

Belgian authorities are also prosecuting Italian MEP Andrea Coccolino, as well as Italian accountant Monica Bellini. The Italian authorities have not yet made a decision on their extradition to Belgium, as they are asking for more information before granting the request of Belgian justice.

Eva Kylie’s stay in Haren prison for such a long time raised questions, as did the conditions of her detention, according to her lawyers, who often spoke of unfair treatment, as well as that she was a “trophy” in the ongoing corruption investigation.

Eva Caili spoke recently through Italian MP Deborah Bergamini of Silvio Berlusconi’s right-wing government party Forza Italia, who visited her in prison. Her statements were posted in the Italian Corriere de la Sera, where Kylie admitted that in the first weeks she even thought about suicide, and now stated that she was determined to prove her innocence. He also mentioned that he wants to get into politics again.
