The former vice-president of the European Parliament will now be under house arrest, Eva Kylieas she had recently been released from Haren Prison, accompanied by her Greek lawyer, after more than four months’ imprisonment.
On behalf of lawyer Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, several efforts were made to immediately settle the technical details that would allow the politician to leave prison on Good Friday to spend Easter days with his child.
Eva Kylie’s pre-trial detention will continue with the regime “electronic monitoring” (electronic wristband) following the surprising appropriate decision of Investigator Michel Clez last Wednesday, the day before her pre-arranged hearing before the Pretrial Investigation Board in Brussels.
“Thank you very much, my daughter is waiting for me. I am very happy to be with her again today. The fight goes on with the determination of my lawyers. We’ll talk soon,” Ms Kylie told reporters gathered outside her residence in Brussels.
However, a similar decision of the investigator was made last Tuesday in relation to the Belgian MEP. Mark Tarabella. It should be noted that Eva Kylie and Mark Tarabella denied their involvement in the Qatargate corruption scandal.
Yesterday, the Greek lawyer for Ms Kaylie Michalis Dimitrakopoulos even insisted that his client knew that she is innocent and that, if she is not acquitted, she will not return to Greece: “Eva Kylie has survived, and her psychological strength keeps her aware of her innocence,” he emphasized, adding that there are many elements in the case file that, without any no doubt to establish that Ms Kylie will be acquitted.”
In particular, he mentioned that “improvised wads of money were found in her house and no fingerprints were found.” For her lawyer, this is “strong evidence” of her innocence.
With the Belgian authorities’ investigation into the corruption scandal still pending, Mr. Dimitrakopoulos said his client was determined to help both the investigator and the federal prosecutor “with everything she knows and everything she knows.”
The next “battle” for the lawyers of Ms. Kaili, Sven Marie and Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, is to prove that former MEP Pierre-Antonio Panzeri’s testimony about the Greek MEP is unreliable.
“It’s a vulgar tale,” Mr. Dimitrakopoulos said characteristically, recalling that Pancheri spoke of Kylie immediately after signing a cooperation agreement with the judiciary last January in exchange for a reduced sentence. At the time, the Greek lawyer said, Mr Panzeri said he “probably heard that Eva Kylie received money for the European elections in the summer of 2019.” “However, there is overwhelming evidence that this did not happen on a certain date,” Mr. Dimitrakopoulos said.
