After allegations of corruption in connection with the soccer World Cup in Qatar, the Vice President of the EU Parliament Eva Kaili was initially arrested by the Belgian authorities. Now she could lose her job.
MEP Eva Kaili, arrested on corruption charges, has been dismissed as Vice-President of the European Parliament. Parliament President Roberta Metsola revoked the 44-year-old “with immediate effect all powers, duties and tasks” as her deputy, as a spokeswoman for Metsola announced on Saturday evening.
A total of five people were arrested in Brussels on Friday. They included Kaili, who was previously one of the 14 Vice-Presidents of Parliament, and her partner, who also works in the European Parliament.
The scandal revolves around the suspicion that Qatar is said to have tried to influence the decisions of the European Parliament with considerable sums of money and gifts.
