Eva Kaili placed under house arrest after prison release.

Greek MEP Eva Kaili, who was arrested in December 2020 for her alleged involvement in a cash-for-favours scheme, has been released from prison and placed under house arrest with an electronic bracelet. Kaili was charged with participation in a criminal organisation, corruption and money laundering. Her arrest sent shockwaves across Brussels and brought to light an investigation into a cash-for-favours scheme that involved "large" sums of money and "substantial" gifts allegedly paid out by Qatar and Morocco in order to influence European policy-making.
