The three European parliamentarians caught up in corruption probe are rallying for their return to politics.
The Greek celebrity politician, one of the main suspects in an alleged cash-for-influence scandal, will soon attempt to have her house arrest conditions lifted so she can resume her duties as a European parliamentarian, Kaili’s lawyers told POLITICO.
The two other MEPs involved in the probe — Belgian Marc Tarabella and Italian Andrea Cozzolino — could soon follow suit. As of Tuesday, Tarabella will no longer have to wear an electronic bracelet and will be able to leave house arrest albeit under certain conditions.
The three are still charged with corruption, money laundering and participation in a criminal organization in a probe that has come to be known as Qatargate.
