EU Parliament Shields Lawmaker from Investigation
Description
The European Parliament is at odds with prosecutors over investigating a German lawmaker, Angelika Niebler, accused of misusing EU funds. Niebler denies the allegations and seeks a swift clarification. The Legal Affairs Committee, citing lack of evidence and political motivations, has decided not to lift her immunity, potentially hindering prosecutors investigation. Critics argue the committee oversteps its role, while supporters claim its merely doing its job. This situation echoes previous cases, sparking calls for reform in handling immunity requests and public naming of MEPs in investigations.
