"The judge at the Piraeus Court of First Instance, Section 7, has requested the waiver of the immunity of Georgios Toussas, Member of the European Parliament, in order to enable him to conduct criminal proceedings started as a result of instructions issued by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Piraeus Magistrates’ Court. Mr Toussas, together with eight other persons, is charged with knowingly defrauding for the benefit of another party, by a sum in excess of EUR 147 000, the property of the Merchant Seamen’s Fund (NAT), a legal entity under public law, the management of which he was entrusted with. The alleged fraud was committed by Mr Toussas when acting as a member of NAT’s Board, having, as such, a status of employee within the meaning of Greek criminal law. In the course of his hearing by the Committee on Legal Affairs on 10 October 2011, Mr Toussas indicated that the criminal proceedings possibly constitute a political persecution directed against him. After reviewing all of the facts, and pursuant to Rule 6 paragraph 2 of the Rules of Procedure, the Committee on Legal Affairs, having examined the reasons for and against waiving the Member’s immunity, recommends that the European Parliament should waive the parliamentary immunity of Georgios Toussas."@en1
