Eva Kaili's lawyers: «For hours in the cold, with the light on and without the possibility of washing despite having my period. This is torture"

The former vice president of the European Parliament Eva Kaili, in prison since 9 December as part of the Qatargate maxi-investigation , has been subjected to a condition of torture.

This was denounced by the two lawyers of Greek politics, Mihalis Dimitrakopoulos and André Risopoulos, at the end of the hearing on the review of the pre-trial detention.

«From Wednesday 11 January to Friday 13 January Eva Kaili was in solitary confinement on the orders of the investigating judge Michel Claise - they say - For sixteen hours she was in a police cell, not in prison, and in the cold . She was denied a second blanket and had her coat removed, the light in the room was always on preventing her from sleeping, she was in her period with heavy bleeding and was not allowed to wash. This is torture."

«Eva Kaili is accused but there is always the presumption of innocence. We are in Europe, these acts violate the European Convention on Human Rights. This is the Middle Ages », is the accusation. "We hope - they add - that there is a fair trial".

Not only that: the former vice-president of the European Parliament in six weeks in prison "had the opportunity to see his twenty-three-month-old daughter only twice. For us, this is a break with common sense and with appropriate measures in relation to the situation."

Then the final request: "The release of Eva Kaili with alternative measures such as the electronic bracelet or other types of similar measures".

Meanwhile, the economic and financial police unit of the Gdf of Milan and the judicial police unit of the Fiamme Gialle have executed a European arrest warrant, issued by judge Michel Claise, against Monica Rossana Bellini , "consultant" of the family of the former MEP Antonio Panzeri, for criminal conspiracy, money laundering and corruption . Bellini, 55 years old, with an office in Opera (Milan) and who among the various positions appears to be a member of the boards of statutory auditors of Milanese municipal companies such as Milanosport, Afol and Sogemi, was taken to San Vittore and in the afternoon, on the decision of judge Roberto Arnaldi, she went under house arrest. He now awaits the hearing scheduled for the end of the month, before the Milan Court of Appeal, which will have to decide on his delivery to Belgium.
