An Italian court on Tuesday was hearing an appeal against turning a woman over to Belgium to face charges along with her parents in an influence-peddling scandal in the European Parliament.
Sylvia Panzeri, a lawyer, is being sought to face charges of participating in a criminal group, corruption and money laundering in Brussels.
Antonio Panzeri and three other people were charged Dec. 9 with corruption, participation in a criminal group and money laundering. Belgian prosecutors are investigating if they “were paid large sums of money or offered substantial gifts to influence parliament’s decisions.” Panzeri and her mother face five years in prison if found guilty of participation in a criminal group, corruption and money laundering, according to the warrants. Both are under house arrest at their home near Bergamo.
