Eva Kayli (44), former vice-president of the European Parliament and a key figure in the corruption scandal or “Qatargate”, is now accused of fraud. This is what the Politico news website writes, which managed to read a letter from the European Prosecutor’s Office to the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola. It appears that Kylie will owe the European Parliament a total of “€100,000”.
Greek Eva Kaili left Haren prison two weeks ago and now wears an ankle bracelet. And she was arrested on December 9, 2022, in a large-scale investigation into the “Qatargate” case, the scandal over the attempts of the Gulf state Qatar and Morocco to influence the economic and political decisions of the European Parliament.

Kylie’s father was arrested in December after he was caught at a Brussels hotel with a suitcase containing 600,000 euros in cash. The man was later released. It is said that Kylie herself was in possession of about 150 thousand euros. After her arrest, the politician admitted that she had ordered her father to hide the money. Kylie’s partner Francesco Giorgi, 35, is also said to be involved in the case.
But now it appears that “Qatargate” isn’t the only scandal involving Kylie. After all, the Socialist deputy is also accused of misusing funds from the European Parliament. Politico is writing this on the basis of a letter allegedly sent by the European Prosecutor’s Office to the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola.
Fake business trips
The letter states that Kylie committed fraud from 2014 to 2020. The Public Prosecution Office wants to investigate whether or not the Greek lied about the activities and movements of four former assistants. For example, she was going to earn money from her assistants’ salaries, as well as from bogus expense reports. For example, it concerns business trips that never happened. According to Politico, the former vice president owes the European Parliament “about 100,000 euros”. Maria Speraki, also a Member of the European Parliament, is also accused of similar offences.
“The current investigation reveals strong suspicions of repeated fraud or other wrongdoing,” European Chief Prosecutor Laura Covesi said in the letter.

Kylie is currently contesting the European Parliament’s request to lift her political immunity. Thanks to this immunity, members of the European Parliament are protected from prosecution by the judiciary. But that doesn’t apply to those who were caught in the act of committing a crime, like Kylie, who was caught with pockets full of money.
The Greek responds through her lawyer that she promised to pay back all the money and to cooperate with the investigation.
