Eva Kaili, the European Union Vice President and member of Greek Socialist party, was arrested Friday in Brussels, Belgium, for alleged corruption.
The Central Office for the Suppression of Corruption arrested Kaili in connection to “criminal organization, corruption and money laundering,” as part of an investigation into lobbying efforts from Qatar, Politico reported. Socialist and Democrat (S&D) members of European Parliament (MEP), including Kaili, who made up the bulk of the arrested, had been noted for their soft stances on Qatar, the outlet reported.
Kaili referred to Qatar as the “frontrunner in labor rights” when she met Qatar’s labor minister, disregarding international concerns about construction practices of World Cup stadiums, according to the outlet.
Kaili’s party, Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), allegedly expelled her following the arrest, Ekathimerini reported.
Investigators from the Federal Judicial Police had allegedly suspected a Gulf country was influencing European politics by “paying large sums of money or offering large gifts to third parties with a significant political and/or strategic position within the European Parliament,” according to an email statement, Reuters reported.
