The Belgian judiciary has issued an arrest warrant and is requesting the lifting of the immunity of Dimitris Avramopoulos so that he can answer questions from Belgian authorities.
Avramopoulos was involved with the NGO Fight Impunity, founded by former MEP Antonio Panzeri, who is at the center of the Qatargate corruption scandal. The case also led to the detention of Eva Kaili during the investigation.
According to Belgian prosecutors, Avramopoulos allegedly received money from what they describe as a “criminal network.” The former commissioner rejects any wrongdoing, stating that all compensation he received from the NGO was properly declared in his asset declarations (“Pothen Esches”) and reported to Greek tax authorities.
In a statement issued on December 19, 2022, Avramopoulos said:
The Belgian authorities are now seeking to question Avramopoulos as part of the broader investigation into alleged corruption and illicit influence operations linked to Qatargate. No final judicial determination has been made regarding the allegations.
