Belgian prosecutor seeks immunity waiver for two more Socialist MEPs

The Belgian federal prosecutor's office requested the European Parliament to waive the immunity of MEPs Alessandra Moretti and Elisabetta Gualmini as part of a bribery investigation involving Qatari officials.
Moretti and Gualmini are linked to the investigation through documents and texts with other MEPs, including Antonio Panzeri, indicted in December 2022.
The immunity waiver request will be presented in March's plenary session and will be reviewed by the Legal Affairs Committee.
The investigation has implications for multiple lawmakers and centers on allegations that Qatar and Morocco bribed EU officials.
