The European Parliament starts the procedures for removing the immunity of two

A committee of the European Parliament has voted to remove the immunity of two MEPs following a request from Belgian authorities investigating the "Qatargate" bribery and corruption scandal that has rocked the EU assembly.

MEPs on the European Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee voted unanimously with no abstentions on Tuesday to lift the immunity of Belgium's Marc Tarabella and Italy's Andrea Cozzolino.

The European Parliament is expected to approve the committee's view when it votes on Thursday, officially triggering the end of immunity from prosecution for the two MEPs.

The request to waive immunity came from Belgian authorities, which have charged four people with bribery, money laundering and membership of a criminal organization in connection with the alleged payments from Qatar. The four – former Italian MEP Pier Antonio Panzeri, Greek MEP Eva Kaili, her assistant and Italian MEP husband Francesco Giorgi and the head of an NGO in Brussels Niccolò Figà-Talamanca are being held in custody pending the completion of investigations. .

Like Tarabella and Cozzolino, Panzeri and Kaili were members of the Socialists and Democrats group of the European Parliament. The three MEPs in office have been expelled from the respective parliamentary groups.
