The former leading member of Greece's neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party was arrested in Belgium on Tuesday, hours after the European Parliament lifted his immunity, Greek police said.
A police source confirmed to AFP that MEP Ioannis Lagos was arrested in Brussels under an international arrest warrant to serve a 13-year jail term in Greece.
The independent MEP had earlier tweeted: "I am in a Belgian police car... being taken to jail."
