Today at 9.30 am Belgian time (10.30 am Greek time) the hearing of Eva Kailis, Mark Tarabella and Antonio Pantseri is scheduled to take place.

It is the third time that Eva Kaili will appear before the pre-trial council, which will decide whether she will be released on parole or remain in custody.

Last Monday it became known that now in Belgium the MEP will be represented by a new lawyer, the criminologist Sven Marie and not Andre Rizopoulos, while in Brussels, as in the past, her other lawyer Michalis Dimitrakopoulos will be.

As for the Belgian MEP Marc Tarabella, he was arrested last Friday, February 10, a few days after his immunity was lifted and he was taken to the Saint-Gilles prison.

“Everything is violent for Mr. Tarabella,” points out his lawyer Maxime Toler speaking to rtl. “First, to learn that one of the people close to him is corrupt and that he admits it. Second, to learn that this person close to him is leading him to guilt by pulling him down when apparently my client claims he is innocent,” he adds.

However, the Italian former MEP Antonio Panzeri, who was arrested on December 9 and is said to be the mastermind of a group related to the corruption case in the European Parliament, will also be in front of the judicial authorities. On January 17, it was announced by the Brussels prosecutor’s office that Antonio Panzeri signed a memorandum of remorse and cooperation with the Belgian authorities.
