police in the german city of dresden say he died of wounds sustained when his hostages were freed. ah, am jared re thank you for your company today? police in belgium have arrested 5 people, including european parliament, vice president, eva kailey. the greek socialist emi p has been expelled from her party. kylie is being investigated as part of an inquiry into corruption and money laundering that involves a golf state. katara authorities are investigating for are the law makers were also detained. prosecutors say they were looking into payments and gifts given to people in strategic positions in your decision making there's been a number of arrest democracy, but the focus is on her time eva, kylie,

who that in europe. she belongs to a greek socialist party and is one of the vice president of the european parliament . now she's being prosecuted in a corruption prob, seduce, he blew disease versus special, correct money laundering, and criminal organization which concerns potential corruption from a personal state. as you go into your compartment. the purpose of the bribery was to try to change the political or economic decisions off to your argument. we could do better than what the media reports name katara asked the state allegedly buying influence. kylie met guitars, labor minister in november, shortly before the world cup started the labor in a video posted on twitter. when she sent the european parliament recognised and respected katasha progress in labor reform. i alone. she made similar comments during a speech at the european parliament, later in november,

accusing some members of parliament, bullying ty, and accusing them of corruption. there's the goodness. katara is a throne rather in labor rights, abolishing a fall and reducing minimum wage. despite the challenges that even europe's companies are denying the for the love, they committed to a vision by choice and they open to the world. this is despite international concerns that thousands of migrant workers could have died building the tournaments stadiums kindly has been expelled from her party at home and her parliamentary group. what happens to her next will be up to belgium system of justice. and for the latest on this investigation, earlier i spoke with the w correspondent, jack paris in brussels. well, its getting ever, ever deeper. we know that 600000 euros in cash was confiscated,

that potentially eva kylie's. father was trying to get some of that cash out of an apartment that's been widely circulated in belgium media. and i have it on exclusively for d. w that potentially the categories are themselves investigating the labor minister that she was pictured with in that report. just that and also the un bassinger to the european union. i suppose those are the 2 people that would initially be investigated. victories are simply saying officially that they're, that they are just investigating where these links are and exactly what might have taken place. the belgian authorities are continuing their investigations and there are a number of offices sealed in the european parliament. now let me bring you another angle to this. i just did a bit of digging into the voting of the european parliament. eva kylie, attended a meeting of the libra committee. this the human rights and sort of the issue is the legal committee of the european parliament. she isn't a member of that committee, but she turned up on december the 1st to a vote,

which was a by visa liberalization for katara, and she weight combined, and she voted in favor of that. and i mean, these are able to go and vote different committees and put their voice is heard, but it is sort of additional pile of evidence on top of the very positive statements that she's been making about cattle publicly in the european parliament . it's starting to sort of a big weight of information is starting to come in, which is starting to stick against her in this investigation. certainly some very serious claims that have been making against that have been made against either kylie jack. i kind of wanted to ask you about what kinds of charges can be brought against members of the european parliament. you know, if they're in hot water as she is, don't they have some kind of diplomatic immunity? yeah, there is diplomatic immunity for city members of the european parliament. they often

can't be extradited for instance. but in this case, because they are corruption allegations and specifically related to her work as a member of the european parliament that immunity will not protect her, especially when it's related to a belgian investigation. the question is, how wide will this go now, members of the european parliament, a meeting at their plenary in strasburg next week, and there will be votes. the left group of the european parliament is saying that they want to vote tabled on this to get a full debate in the european parliament plenary, which m e p could vote against. that would be a bad look. and also there's another vote on potentially on the visa liberalization on thursday. we're all eyes will be on that vision liberalization. for cat on this, all in the middle of cattle will come old. very interesting. indeed, that was dw, is jack carrick in brussels. jack, thanks here. in germany, a man suspected of killing his mother and then taking hostages has died of wounds sustained during the effort to free his 2 captives for lease in the eastern city of

try to gain access. they also published already a statement saying that they had several security measures in place that, that worked. so no injuries on that side. and then he continued to this a shopping center took hostages, there it was a negotiation team to try to be in touch with him to try to a be in contact with him and try to tell him to surrender. but that did not work. just an extraordinary story. it's ended now. we know that how exactly did police bring this all to an end? so they had the were in touch over a telephone where he had this 2 hostages and after they said ok, he does not want to surrender. they went in. so there was a technical unit that went into the shopping center and a free the hostages. they seemed to be fine, but of course always need to be some medical checks are there. and then afterwards we have the information. first we heard that there was injured that the man was injured and then that he, i'd after 7 suffering this injuries it during the operations. we don't have the details yet if he was shot or if he self it wounded himself. but that's information

that we have to see geisha or and going, and that's something that authority stress even though this whole situation is over . now, of course not everything will be open as a sill investigations and going there. so of course, as you say, we know just aspect has died. we don't know yet how he died. what can you tell us about him? what they're saying? a 40 year old german man, and they believe that he is mentally unstable. that something that they sad that all the indicators also underline this conclusion appears to be a lone wolf that acted on his own. so not with a bigger group of people that actually supported him with the planning. they still have to look into the details. what exactly happens, but this happened on a saturday with many people on the street with many people also going to this christmas market. they're pretty big in the city of dress and, and that's quite big. and of course to fill concerns and feel memories of people remembering the bright shad plus terror attack that happened here in berlin several years ago. so of course, authorities are really cautious that when it comes to information,
