“I gladly accept the request to lift my immunity to make it clear that I have not a single euro of financial difference with the European Parliament,” said MEP Maria Spirakis regarding the request from the European Prosecutor’s Office to remove her immunity. .

“The question is about the allowance of my former foreign partner, [που] he faced a serious personal problem and was absent from the seat of the European Parliament on several occasions. I have nothing to do with Qatargate or any other business.”

It is noted that the European prosecutor’s office demanded that immunity be removed from Ms. Eva Kaili.

According to an investigation report obtained by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), there are suspicions of fraud in the EU budget regarding the management of parliamentary compensation and in particular the remuneration of accredited parliamentary assistants.

Based on applicable national law, two MEPs are entitled to the presumption of innocence.

“Once again, the Belgian authorities show what it means to investigate cases of corruption and fraud, as opposed to the feeling of injustice and the constant hiding in Greece of Mr. Mitsotakis,” reports SYRIZA-PS.

“We assume that Mr. Mitsotakis will not pretend not to know Ms. Spirakis like Ms. Kylie and expel her from the ND,” he comments, adding that “people are only consistent in corruption and dragging country inside and outside.”
