Description
The European Parliament lifts the immunity of two lawmakers targeted by a Belgian probe into suspected bribery linked to Qatar and Morocco. The vote stripping Belgian MEP Marc Tarabella and Italian MEP Andrea Cozzolino of their protection from prosecution followed a demand by Belgian authorities, who have four people in custody as part of their probe. "I am happy that my parliamentary immunity has been lifted" Tarabella tells the press after the vote, "I am innocent in this affair". COMPLETES EN_338D98B IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
