Legal proceedings can start as former MEP Szájer sends back diplomatic passport

Change language:

Until Szájer is in diplomatic or parliamentary immunity, the Belgian criminal proceedings for suspected drug abuse cannot start. According to the Foreign Ministry, Szájer is sending back his diplomatic passport.

József Szájer resigned from his MEP position after being caught fleeing from a sex party in Brussels through a drain pipe with bleeding hands. The party violated the Belgian coronavirus restrictions, and the police found drugs in the politician’s bag.

According to Blikk, Szájer is officially not a Member of the European Parliament since 2 January. The politician left his office, cards and computers. Since the scandal surfaced on 1 December, he has not been participating in the parliament’s tasks, and his former works were cancelled too. He completely disappeared from the public; no one has seen him in Brussels, Strasbourg, Sopron, or Budapest.

After his mandate in parliament is over, he no longer has diplomatic immunity, so his criminal liability can be discussed now. For drug abuse, he can be punished with imprisonment between 3 and 5 years, and a fine between 8 thousand and 800 thousand EUR. The Belgian prosecutor’s office did not provide any further information on the case.
