Italian MEP Andrea Cozzolino is being held in Brussels in the context of a so-called “cathargate” over alleged bribes paid by Qatar, Morocco and others to gain influence in the European Parliament, the Belgian Federal Prosecutor’s Office said on Monday. .
The judge will now review his testimony and decide on Tuesday whether to keep his arrest warrant in place, put him on probation or wear an electronic ankle bracelet, a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor explained.
Judicial sources cited by the Italian news agency ANSA said last Thursday that the Belgian Federal Prosecutor’s Office had canceled the European arrest warrant for Cozzolino.
