Parliament decided to waive the immunity of Alvise Pérez, a Member of the European Parliament elected in Spain, following a request from the Supreme Court of Spain in connection with alleged offences of illegal funding of a political party and an electoral offence.

Key points

  1. The request for waiver was submitted by the Supreme Court of Spain on 31 October 2025, concerning alleged offences that occurred in 2024.
  2. The alleged offences involve maintaining links with an advisor to obtain economic benefits through tax optimisation schemes and receiving an advance sum of EUR 100 000 for the political party 'Se Acabó La Fiesta'.
  3. The alleged facts may constitute offences of illegal funding of a political party under Article 304a(1) of the Spanish Criminal Code and an electoral offence under Article 149(1) of Spanish Organic Law No 5/1985.
  4. Alvise Pérez was not a Member of the European Parliament at the time of the alleged offences, as he was elected in June 2024.
  5. The alleged offences do not relate to an opinion expressed or a vote cast in the performance of his duties, so Article 8 of Protocol No 7 does not apply.
  6. Parliament found no evidence of fumus persecutionis, meaning the legal proceedings do not appear intended to damage his political activity or Parliament's independence.
  7. Parliament decided to waive the immunity of Alvise Pérez.

Who is affected

  • Alvise Pérez, Member of the European Parliament elected in Spain, whose immunity is waived, allowing legal proceedings to continue.

Figures and deadlines
