Overnight she became famous all over Europe, arguably famous. Because Eva Kaili (44), vice president of the EU Parliament before her suspension, is at the center of one of the biggest scandals in the history of the EU…
Sitting since Friday Kaili on charges of serious corruption in Belgian custody. Rumor has it that he has bags full of money accepted by Qatar.
Now a video of him from 2014 has appeared, shortly after his election to the European Parliament, at the start of a promising career in the EU. The title: “Eve in the paradise of the EU”.
The video shows: Kaili poses as a model with an apple, the biblical symbol of temptation and sin. You bit the apple and you let yourself be expelled from the “EU Paradise”?
In retrospect, the beautiful images seem like a prophecy…
Because the suspicion is that she let herself be bought: the investigators found 600,000 euros in cash in her apartment, hidden in plastic bags, shortly after campaigning in the EU Parliament for a visa-free Qatar (ISIS sponsor, among others) – atypical of a socialist.
It is also striking: just a few days ago, he praised the Gulf State – where workers died building World Cup stadiums – as a pioneer in terms of workers’ rights.
Kaili is no stranger to her homeland of Greece, having worked as a reader and journalist prior to her career with the European Union. In 2007 she was elected to the Greek Parliament. In 2014, she traveled to the EU Parliament via a way station at the Ministry of the Interior, where she became one of several Vice-Presidents that same year.
Even then, however, Kaili did not seem to have the pure innocence of the biblical Eve before her expulsion from paradise.
In Athens’ highest political circles, Kaili’s closeness to Russian-Greek oligarchs and Asian oil tycoons has long been an issue, including his friendship with Ivan Savvides (63). Putin’s confidant once took to the field with a gun because he didn’t like a referee’s decision against his PAOK Thessaloniki football club.
Now Kaili’s career seems to be over and Qatar’s money may be gone too.
She was suspended from office soon after her arrest and her PASOK party also expelled her. A Greek judge froze all of her and her family’s accounts. Your life partner and employee is also suspected by the detectives.
