Luxembourg MEP Kartheiser faces EU Parliament probe over Russia trip
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has triggered a formal conduct inquiry into Luxembourg MEP Fernand Kartheiser over his attendance at a Russian economic forum and his dealings with the State Duma. One of the Grand Duchy's six MEPs, Kartheiser was already expelled from a parliamentary group last year over a Moscow trip and has dismissed the latest scrutiny as 'surreal.'
