Encyclopedic overview
Eva Kaili (Greek: Εύα Καϊλή; born 26 October 1978) is a Greek former politician who was a member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 2014 to 2024. She served as one of fourteen vice presidents of the European Parliament from January 2022 until she was arrested in December 2022 and charged with corruption as part of the Qatar corruption scandal at the European Parliament.
Kaili was a Member of the Hellenic Parliament from 2007 to 2012. Before her political career, she was a news presenter for Greek television channel MEGA Channel from 2004 to 2007. Following her arrest on 9 December 2022, Kaili was held in pre-trial detention in Brussels until 14 April 2023, when she was released to house arrest with an electronic bracelet, a measure that was lifted on 25 May 2023. Through her lawyers, Kaili denied all charges. In September 2023, she secured an internal inquiry into how evidence against her was collected; the Court of Appeal ruled in February 2026 that the investigation had been conducted properly. Kaili did not seek re-election in the 2024 European Parliament election.
