THE European Parliament has waived the immunity from prosecution of Golden Dawn founding member Ioannis Lagos, who is currently serving as a Greek MEP, paving the way for his jailing.
A Greek court sentenced him to 13 years in prison in October after finding him guilty, along with 38 others, of running the fascist party as a criminal organisation.
They were found guilty of a string of serious offences, including the stabbing to death of rapper Pavlos Fyssas and attacks on communists, trade unionists and immigrants.
