On 9 December 2022, Kaili was arrested by Belgian Federal Police following an investigation into organized crime, corruption and money laundering tied to lobbying efforts in support of Qatar.
A suitcase of cash was found with her father upon his arrest, and bags of cash were found at her home.
The same day she was suspended from both the Socialists and Democratic Group with which she sits in the European Parliament and her national party PASOK.
As part of the investigation, Belgian Police raided 16 homes and detained at least four others including former MEP Antonio Panzeri, Kaili's partner, and Parliamentary assistant to MEP Marie Arena, Francesco Giorgi, and Kaili's father who was on a train with a large amount of cash after being warned by an accomplice.
During the raids over €600,000 in cash was recovered by investigators.
The timing of the arrests coincided with the 2022 FIFA World Cup being hosted in Qatar.
At the time, the West were generally critical of the hosts, however, during a speech at the European Parliament, Kaili used her speaking time to praise the human rights record and criticise the accusations of corruption of the Gulf State— critical of the West's response. |
