Tatjana Ždanoka

Some members of the European Parliament earn extra money by working part-time for private companies, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest and influence on EU policy-making.

The European Parliament has imposed sanctions, including a fine and a ban on certain functions, against Latvian MEP Tatjana Ždanoka for violating the code of conduct after she was found to have spied for Russia.

The European Parliament adopted a resolution expressing concern over Russia's ongoing efforts to undermine European democracy through interference and disinformation.

The European Parliament is investigating allegations that Latvian MP Tatjana Ždanoka has ties to Russia. This case will be discussed at a conference of European Parliament presidents on January 31.
