[HIGHLIGHTS] The European Parliament will defend prohibiting amnesties for embezzlers in the EU after the socialists give up trying to further curbs

The European Parliament will defend prohibiting amnesties for embezzlers in the EU after the socialists give up trying to further curbs. The next step is now a negotiation that could be long with the governments of the 27 to introduce this and other positions of the European Parliament in the new directive.

There is therefore no immediate effect in Spain, but there is a clear political message that the amnesty and pardons granted by the Government forEmbezzlement go against the majority sentiment of European Parliament.
