According to the Italian press, Pier Antonio Panzeri allegedly gave the also suspected Belgian MEP Marc Tarabella 120,000 to 140,000 euros
The Group of Social Democrats of the European Parliament unanimously decided to exclude Mark Tarabella as a member, in accordance with Article 2.6 of the Rules of Procedure.
Following this decision, Tarabela is still an MEP, but will now be among the “unregistered”, not belonging to any political group, for the duration of the current investigation. Tarabella had already left the European Parliament’s Socialists and Democrats (S&D) group, while the Walloon Socialist Party had previously revoked his membership.
According to the Italian press, Pier Antonio Panzeri allegedly gave the also suspected Belgian MEP Marc Tarabella 120,000 to 140,000 euros.
Andrea Coccolino disqualified himself earlier, as the Social Democratic Group said in a post on Twitter.
