The European Parliament has decided to waive the immunity of Viktor USPASKICH (ALDE, LT).
He is being prosecuted for illicit political party financing and other related offences in the proceedings pending in the Vilnius Regional Court of criminal offences. The alleged crimes were all committed between 2004 and 2006, a period during which Mr. Uspaskich was not MEP.
Given that the charges against Mr. Uspaskich are not related to opinions expressed or votes cast in the performance of his duties as an MEP and that they have nothing to do with his activities as an MEP, Parliament decided to waive the immunity of Viktor Uspaskich.
