European lawmaker Eva Kaili, who has been accused of accepting bribes from Qatar, has been ordered to remain in custody as investigations continue into one of the European Union’s biggest ever corruption scandals.
A Belgian judge refused a request to release Kaili, a Greek Member of the European Parliament who was stripped of her role Vice President earlier this month, ordering she remain in pre-trial detention for another month, as investigations continue into charges that she and others accepted bribes from Qatar and Morocco to influence decisions in the parliament.
