- MEPs to shield colleague’s immunity over concerns about Bulgaria’s EU prosecutor
EU lawmakers are expected to shield MEP Ilhan Kyuchyuk's immunity despite his investigation by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO). The EPPO's Bulgarian prosecutor, found guilty of serious misconduct and suspended, is involved in the case, which lawmakers argue may be politically motivated. Prosecutors allege Kyuchyuk violated parliamentary rules by hiring assistants linked to a national party in Sofia.
