The Prosecutor’s Office attached to Romania’s High Court requested that the European Parliament lift the immunity of MEP Diana Șoșoacă on Tuesday, September 23. This is not the first scandal involving Diana Șoșoacă. The Romanian MEP continued to shout in the hallways, saying that von der Leyen "killed people" through the COVID-era vaccine mandates. The case now brought against Diana Șoșoacă, according to the official press release, is related to an incident from four years ago, when she and her husband allegedly held captive and assaulted a team of Italian journalists. Following these instances, prosecutors are now looking to continue the criminal investigation of the MEP known for her pro-Russian and conspiratorial speeches.
