A complaint of “serious criminal offences” against the MEP, Alexis Georgoulis, was made to the Belgian authorities in 2020 and personalized in 2020, according to information.
The information states that the complaint is eponymous – both in terms of the complainant and the alleged perpetrator – from the time close to the alleged act.
Yesterday, as soon as the “bombshell” exploded with the complaint against Georgoulis, the MEP who was expelled from SYRIZA denied it, stressing the following:
“Unfortunately, we live in difficult and dangerous times. To my great surprise, I am informed that an obviously false and slanderous complaint has been filed against me for an incident that allegedly happened three years ago. In the face of this false and insulting attack, which is carried out – probably not by chance – a few days before the national elections, I intend to fight my battle in justice, for the truth and the restoration of my name, requesting the removal of my MEP immunity.
In this context and because I do not at all want to influence the fight that SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance is fighting, at all levels, with a purely personal issue, I am placing myself at the disposal of the party’s organs and submitting my resignation as a member of the party as well as from the Eurogroup of SYRIZA-PS”.
Papadimoulis
On this matter, the head of the SYRIZA MEPs, Dimitris Papadimoulis, speaking to radio station Parapolitika and journalist Niki Lymperakis, stated, among other things, that “we had no information, I was informed about the matter yesterday shortly before the official announcement was made by the president of the European Parliament for the request of the Belgian authorities to lift the immunity of Mr. Georgoulis.
Mr. Papadimoulis noted that the initial complaint by the complainant to the abuser was anonymous and recently the name of the abuser was specified.
“What happens in these proceedings is that the Belgian authorities, police and judicial, investigate a matter with due confidentiality and secrecy and if they judge that it should go for judicial investigation and due process then they ask for the immunity to be lifted. I have the same question, why did it take three years, but the answer must be given by the competent Belgian authorities.”
