“The appeal process cannot be finished without the European Parliament’s decision on stripping Uspaskich of his legal immunity,” the Prosecutor General’s Office said in a statement on Monday.
The European Parliament already lifted Uspaskich’s legal immunity in 2010. The processing took 14 months to accomplish. However, Uspaskich regained his immunity from prosecution on 1 July, after being re-elected to the European Parliament.
Last July, Vilnius Regional Court found Uspaskich guilty of fraud and fraudulent bookkeeping and sentenced him to 4 years in prison. Uspaskich filed an appeal, denying his guilt and calling the whole process politically-motivated.
The sentence can come into force only after the ruling from the Court of Appeals.
