The European Parliament decided to waive the immunity of António Marinho e Pinto (ALDE, PT).

Parliament recalled that the judge of the Lisbon West (Oeiras) District Court requested the waiver of the parliamentary immunity of António Marinho e Pinto, Member of the European Parliament, in connection with judicial proceedings concerning an alleged criminal offence of aggravated defamation, following a complaint by the charitable association, Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Lisboa.

Given that the alleged acts have no obvious or direct connection with the performance of António Marinho e Pinto’s duties as a Member of the European Parliament and that they relate rather to activities of a purely national nature, and do not concern opinions expressed or votes cast in the performance of his duties as 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, Parliament decided to follow the committee’s recommendation and waive the immunity of António Marinho e Pinto .
