In the crosshairs of justice is MEP Eva Kaili, who is facing serious charges in the corruption and bribery scandal that has erupted in the European Parliament.
The arrest of the former -now- vice-president of the European Parliament for alleged bribery by the Qatari government is not the only problem she faces with the authorities.

According to reports, the Belgian authorities have filed with the Money Laundering Authority to freeze the assets and accounts of both the MEP herself, as well as her father and husband, with the honorary deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Charalambos Vourliotis, ordering their freezing.
Mr. Vourliotis is said to have moved immediately after the developments in Belgium, in order to secure assets, which may be derived from illegal activities and located in Greece.
The freeze has already been notified to the Greek credit institutions, but also to the competent state authorities and concerns both the MEP who is being held and her immediate family members (parents, brothers and sisters, husband).
It is recalled that a large amount of cash (150,000 euros) in bags and a suitcase was found and seized at the Greek MEP's house, which justified the automatic waiver of immunity as it was considered to be the commission of an offence in person.
As for Eva Kaili's father, who was caught with a suitcase full of cash (600,000) leaving a hotel in Brussels, he was released.
