Greek MEP Eva Kaili will not appear in court until the 22nd, remaining in custody, as is her partner Francesco Giorgi, both defendants in an alleged corruption case.
Eva Kaili, who has already been removed from her position as Vice President of the European Parliament, saw her hearing rescheduled this Wednesday for December 22, while she claims to be innocent, through the voice of one of her lawyers in Athens, arguing that was unaware of the existence of bags of €150,000 worth of banknotes found at his home in Brussels.
Arrested on Friday in the Belgian capital, a 44-year-old MEP is suspected that Qatar paid a bribe to protect the interests of this emirate, which is currently hosting the World Cup.
