EU lawmakers formally waived the diplomatic immunity of the top suspect in the Qatargate scandal Greek socialist MEP Eva Kaili on Tuesday (6 February), following a request of the European Chief Prosecutor Laura Kövesi.
According to the parliament’s report setting out the case for waiving Kaili’s immunity from prosecution, Kaili is accused by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office of “fraudulently spending between €120,000 and €150,000 of public money”. If found guilty she could face between five and 15 years in prison.
