A panel of judges panel are deciding today whether to free four suspects, charged as part of major corruption scandal at the European Parliament. Prosecutors suspect Greek MEP Eva Kaili and three others accepted bribes from World Cup host Qatar, in a bid to influence EU policymaking. Kaili's lawyer says his client is innocent. And Qatari officials have also denied any wrongdoing. But the investigation (culminating in arrests over the weekend) has sent shockwaves through the EU. Kaili is the only serving MEP to have been charged. But several more have had their offices put under police seal while investigations continue. FRANCE 24's correspondent in Brussels Dave Keating tells us more.
