- A8-0062/2016 summary
  
  The Committee on Legal Affairs unanimously adopted the report by Angel DZHAMBAZKI (ECR, BG) in which it recommended the European Parliament to waive the immunity of Hermann WINKLER (EPP, DE). Members stated that the public prosecutor’s office in Leipzig (Germany) requested the waiver of the parliamentary immunity of Hermann Winkler, Member of the European Parliament, in connection with launching investigative proceedings concerning an alleged road traffic offence. Members recalled that under Article 46(2) of the German Basic Law (Grundgesetz), a Member may not be called to account for a punishable offence without the permission of Parliament unless apprehended while committing the offence or in the course of the following day. They noted that the request relates to preliminary investigations into a serious road traffic accident in which Hermann Winkler was involved and that the alleged offence clearly has no connection with the position of Hermann Winkler as a Member of the European Parliament. In this regard, Members called on the European Parliament to waive his parliamentary immunity in the case in question.

To recall, the public prosecutor’s office in Leipzig (Germany) requested the waiver of the parliamentary immunity of Hermann Winkler, Member of the European Parliament, in connection with launching investigative proceedings concerning an alleged road traffic offence on 23 September 2015. The criminal proceedings do not concern any opinion expressed or vote cast in the performance of the duties of a Member of the European Parliament for the purposes of Article 8 of Protocol No 7 on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union. In the light of the information acquired by the committee, there is no reason to assume that the intention underlying the criminal proceedings is to damage a Member’s political activity ( fumus persecutionis ). Given that the alleged offence thus clearly has no connection with the position of Hermann Winkler as a Member of the European Parliament, Parliament decided to waive parliamentary immunity in the case in question. date: 2016-04-12T00:00:00 type: End of procedure in Parliament body: EP
