The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, says that the corruption allegations against the Vice-President of the European Parliament cause extreme concern. The AFP news agency quotes von der Leyen's words on Monday.
"The accusations against the vice-president of the European Parliament cause great concern, they are very serious," said the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
"This is a matter of people's trust in our institutions, and that trust and confidence in our institutions needs the highest standards," she added.
EU foreign ministers, who arrived in Brussels to discuss sanctions against Iran and Russia, also warned that the scandal threatens trust in European institutions.
We will remind, one of the vice-presidents of the assembly, the Greek socialist Eva Kaili, was accused of corruption by the Belgian prosecutor's office, and her assets were frozen by Greece, her homeland.
Three of Kylie's partners were also charged after bags of cash were found at her home shortly after she returned from an official visit to Qatar. The house of another MEP was searched.
