Vice President Eva Kaili, who was deposed in the corruption scandal surrounding the European Parliament, has been released from a Belgian prison after a good four months.
The 44-year-old Greek woman left Haren prison in northern Brussels today. The judiciary has ordered her to remain under house arrest in her Brussels apartment, where she is being monitored with an electronic tag.
“My daughter is waiting for me and I’m very happy to be able to see her again,” Kaili told press about the reunion with her two-year-old child. She spoke in her mother tongue, Greek, and in English as she pulled up in a black Mercedes with tinted windows in front of her apartment near the European Parliament in Brussels.
The investigating authorities accuse the former TV presenter of accepting gifts and bribes from Qatar. Kaili denies the allegations.
