Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBRUSSELS — An MEP and former leading member of Greece’s banned neo-Nazi Golden Dawn movement, arrested in Belgium, has challenged moves to send him home for imprisonment, prosecutors say.
Ioannis Lagos was held on a European arrest warrant in Brussels yesterday, immediately after the European Parliament voted to strip him of his immunity.
But, brought before a Belgian magistrate today, he challenged the move to send him to Greece to serve a 13-year jail term, deputy public prosecutor Katrien Meulemans says.
