A ban on leaving the country and monitoring by a social welfare officer are among other conditions for Eva Kaili’s release, according to the decision of investigator-judge Michel Clez.
According to the May 25 order of Judge Michel Clez, the conditions for the release of Eva Kaili – who is accused of participation in a criminal organization, corruption and money laundering – are as follows:
- equipment used for electronic surveillance be returned;
- reside in her residence and not change residence without first notifying the investigator;
- not to leave the national territory of Belgium without the prior written permission of the investigator;
- not to contact any of the persons involved in the file under investigation, including through the press;
- to answer all calls from the police or judicial authorities, including calls sent by experts they have appointed; and
- to be available for monitoring by a welfare officer of the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office.
These terms came into effect on May 25th and will expire on August 25th unless extended or amended.
According to the order of the investigator Klez, these conditions are mandatory for the release of Eva Kaili. “Given the circumstances of the case, there are serious grounds for concern that if the defendant were to be released without the appropriate conditions, she would repeat her criminal behavior,” his decision reads.
