From the prison of Brussels where she is imprisoned, Eva Kaili, the former Greek vice-president of the European Parliament accused of being at the center of the bribery scandal rocking the EU, returns protest his innocence and she does so by challenging those who wish to victimize her. “I’m not going to end up like Iphigenia,” said the former television journalist, ideally juxtaposing her story with that of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra’s sacrificed daughter in Greek myth. «Kaili has nothing to do with money that were found, except that it was in the house where the money was found,” his lawyer Michalis Dimitrakopoulos told Greek TV channel ANT1. Then the push against the EU institutions, which have hastened to unload Kaili in the past few days: «All of Ms. Kaili’s actions and initiatives have been approved by the European Parliament. There was no personal agenda of Ms. Kaili – everything was one political decision of the European Council and the Commission and not just the European Parliament and Mrs Metsola,” said Dimitrakopoulos. Francesco Giorgi, the Italian companion of Antonio Panzeri’s former vice president and former parliamentary assistant, also confirmed the same version, the lawyer said: “When Kaili saw the money, he didn’t get a convincing answer about its origin and he immediately asked about it the money was taken out of the house. His father took it upon himself to be the courier as there was no one else around.”
