Brussels/Strasbourg/EU-wide – The house arrest against two suspects in the bribery scandal in the European Parliament has been lifted. MEP Marc Tarabella and Francesco Giorgi, the partner of former European Parliament Vice President Eva Kaili, were allowed to remove their electronic ankle bracelets, a spokesman for the public prosecutor’s office in Brussels said on Tuesday. The investigating judge decided that the detention was no longer justified.
