Spyraki: “I gladly accept the request to lift my immunity in order to make it clear that I do not have a single euro of financial difference with the European Parliament”
The European general prosecutor requests the lifting of the immunity of Eva Kailis and Maria Spyrakis, in order for them to be audited, as members of the European Parliament, for the fees of their assistants.
This specific case is not related to Qatargate, in which Eva Kaili stars.
As the investigative report by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) states, there are suspicions of fraud against the EU budget, in relation to the management of parliamentary compensation, and in particular with regard to the remuneration of accredited parliamentary assistants.
ND MEP Maria Spyrakis made the following statement to APE regarding the request of the European General Prosecutor to lift her immunity:
“I gladly accept the request to lift my immunity in order to make it clear that I do not have a single euro of financial difference with the European Parliament. The matter concerns the allowance of my ex-foreign colleague, who faced a serious personal problem and had some absences from the meeting place of the European Parliament. I have nothing to do with Qatargate, I have nothing to do with any other case.”
