Details

The European Parliament decided to waive the immunity of António MARINHO E PINTO (ADLE, PT).

The judge at the Coimbra District Court submitted a request for waiver of the parliamentary immunity of a Member of the European Parliament António Marinho e Pinto in connection with possible legal action concerning an alleged offence. He is accused of defamation of former officials of the Portuguese Bar Association

Parliament noted that:

the charges are manifestly unrelated to the position of António Marinho e Pinto as a Member of the European Parliament and arise from his former position as President of the Portuguese Bar Association; the alleged actions do not relate to opinions expressed or votes cast by the Member of the European Parliament in the performance of his duties within the meaning of Article 8 of Protocol No 7 on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union; there is no suspicion of any attempt to obstruct the parliamentary work of António Marinho e Pinto ( fumus persecutionis ) behind the proceedings, which were in fact initiated before he assumed his seat in the European Parliament.

Bearing this in mind, Parliament decided to waive the immunity of António Marinho e Pinto.
