"The Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office intends to institute proceedings against Mr Hans-Peter Martin, Member of the European Parliament, on the basis of allegations that he has breached the provisions of Section 2b of the Austrian Law on Political Parties by using State funding inappropriately to meet private expenditure and to settle inflated invoices submitted to him by friends or business associates. The allegations relate to the period of the European election campaign, between 2008 and 2009.
In addition, Mr Martin is accused of having misled the auditors responsible for scrutinising the use of funds by submitting ‘fictitious documents’ to justify the lawfulness of the accounting and/or the legal basis for the use of funds.
In the course of the preliminary investigation, the Vienna Prosecutor’s Office intends to order searches, in particular on the premises used by the staff of the ‘Martin list’ and to obtain the release of information concerning bank accounts and bank transactions in both Austria and Germany. On the basis of the foregoing, and in accordance with Article 2(4) of the Rules of Procedure, I agree with the recommendation of the Committee on Legal Affairs, following an examination of the arguments for and against stripping the MEP of his immunity, that the European Parliament should strip Hans-Peter Martin of his parliamentary immunity."@en1
