Eva Kylie’s lawyer: "Her position is that she is innocent"

The reaction of the Greek MEP Eva Kaili to the scandal and his arrest was described by her lawyer Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, who also spoke about the progress of the investigation.

The revelations have taken on an avalanche-like character, real panic reigns in Brussels and Strasbourg, and the current guarded Eva Kylie pleads not guilty of what she is accused of. She claims she has nothing to do with the funding from Qatar and the charges against her. This is what her lawyer, Mr. Dimitrakopoulos, says:

“Her position is that she is innocent. This has nothing to do with funding from Qatar. I have no idea if any money was found, or how much was found. All I can tell you, because I talked to her sister, is that there is no crib for a small child where the hidden money was found. I directly deny this to you because her sister, Mrs. Magdalena Kaili, told me.”

Renowned lawyer, writes efsyn.gr, mentioned Kylie’s father: the Belgian authorities do not impose any conditions and restrictions on him, and he can return to Greece if he wants, however, “when a father sees his child in such a difficult situation, his place is next to him.”
