European Parliament immunity revocation for Matej Tonin

Overview

The European Parliament voted to strip Slovenian MEP Matej Tonin of his parliamentary immunity in connection with the Knovs affair. The case involves allegations of abuse of official position or rights by members of the parliamentary commission for the supervision of intelligence and security services, stemming from an unannounced inspection in November 2023.

Although the Committee on Legal Affairs had previously recommended that Tonin retain his immunity, the plenary vote resulted in its revocation. Following the vote, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola officially notified Tonin of the decision. While Tonin’s office noted that some members expressed intentions to amend their votes after the announcement, Metsola confirmed that such corrections do not change the official outcome. The decision is to be communicated to the relevant Slovenian authorities.
