Eva Kaili, vice president of the European Parliament, is reportedly one of those being held. She has been expelled from the Socialists & Democrats parliamentary group and is a member of the socialist Pasok party in Greece. She was also kicked out of Greece’s Pasok center-left party. After Belgian detectives discovered “bags of cash” in her home on Sunday, Kaili was accused of corruption and placed under arrest.

Greece decided to freeze the vice president of the European Parliament’s assets following his detention by Belgian police. Josep Borrell, the head of foreign policy for the EU, responded to the incident by describing the accusations as “very, very worrisome.”Belgian authorities are looking into claims that individuals representing the Gulf monarchy and World Cup host, Qatar, paid substantial bribes to European lawmakers to sway the policy discussion in Brussels.
