Her hearing is ongoing Eva Kaili before the pre-trial council in Brussels which will decide whether to extend her pre-trial detention or not. Eva Kaili is now represented by her new lawyer, Sven Marie who replaced Andre Rizopoulos.

THE Sven Marie entering the courthouse he stated that Mrs. Kaili is a mother and should be at home with her child. Thus, release from prison will be requested, even with conditions – a bracelet. It is noted that if the request is rejected, then it can be re-introduced for discussion in two months instead of one.

The hearing before the pre-trial council on the release request filed by Eva Kailistarted late.

The reason is the change of judge Michel Cleese requested by the Pancheri side, which means that the judge in question cannot attend the pre-trial panel that will consider all the cases (Kailis, Pancheri and Tarabella).

The Greek MEP changed her legal team three days ago, replacing Andre Rizopoulos with Sven Marie, a famous Belgian lawyer, nicknamed “the devil’s advocate”.

Request for a change of judge from the Pancheri side

In the morning, his side Mario Pantseri -the Italian former MEP who is characterized as the mastermind of the network- filed a request to exclude Judge Michel Clees from the pre-trial council.

The Belgian MEP is also present at the hearing Mark Tarabellawho was arrested and is being held in the prisons of Saint-Gilles, while his lawyer insists that “Pantcheri lures him into his guilt by pulling him down.”
