European Parliament strips Greek Neo-Nazi lawmaker of immunity ANI | Updated: Apr 28, 2021 11:52 IST
Brussels [Belgium], April 28 (ANI): The convicted Greek neo-Nazi lawmaker Ioannis Lagos was stripped of his immunity as a member of the European Parliament on Tuesday, clearing the way for his extradition to Greece months after he was sentenced in a landmark trial.
According to The New York Times (NYT), Lagos was a leading member of the criminal organization Golden Dawn. The group is now defunct, but in its heyday, it formed a political party that was the third-largest in the Greek Parliament.
He told The New York Times in written comments this year that he was planning to flee to a European country where his rights would be protected, but on Tuesday, the Brussels public prosecutor s office said that the lawmaker was deprived of his liberty today at midday.
