EU politician: Kaili makes partial confession in corruption scandal

According to media reports, the arrested former Vice President of the European Parliament Eva Kaili made a partial confession in the EU corruption scandal. As the daily newspapers "Le Soir" and "La Repubblica" reported on Tuesday, citing investigation documents, the 44-year-old Greek woman admitted, among other things, that she had instructed her father to hide large amounts of cash before she was arrested.

"She states that she knew about her husband's activities with Mr. Panzeri in the past and that suitcases with money were smuggled through her apartment," the investigating judge is also quoted from the documents.

Kaili is in custody

Kaili is currently in custody in Belgium, along with her partner and former Italian MEP Antonio Panzeri. Her father was arrested by investigators on December 9 trying to hide a suitcase full of cash in a Brussels hotel after Kaili warned him about a large-scale operation by Belgian investigators. Kaili also tried to warn two MEPs, the two newspapers write.

Her lawyer André Risopoulos said when asked by "Le Soir" and "La Repubblica" that he was personally outraged that they had access to the documents. He did not confirm that the testimony was a partial confession.
