Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:58:41 GMT

LONDON — The U.K. government is taking legal action to avoid handing over sensitive material — including Boris Johnson’s WhatsApps — to the public inquiry into its handling of the coronavirus pandemic.The Cabinet Office announced Thursday that it is seeking a judicial review of the COVID-19 inquiry’s demands for Johnson’s notebooks, diaries and un-redacted WhatsApp messages with advisers and ministers.It means a High Court judge will be asked to decide whether the inquiry has overreached its legal powers in demanding the evidence.The action is an attempt by ministers to avoid submitting all the material the inquiry’s chair Heather Hallett has asked for. It includes messages Johnson exchanged with senior figures such as Rishi Sunak and Cabinet Secretary Simon Case during the pandemic.It comes after a 10-day stand-off between the Cabinet Office — which has resisted the demands for the material on the basis it’s irrelevant to the inquiry’s remit — and Hallett, who says it is her ...

ATHENS — Free from house arrest, Eva Kaili now also wants to travel.Days after Belgian prosecutors announced she was no longer under house arrest and her electronic tag was removed, Kaili’s legal team is seeking to eliminate restrictions on being able to move freely beyond Belgium. “Legal proceedings have been initiated to abolish the restrictive conditions, especially the ban on exiting the country,” her lawyers Sven Mary and Michalis Dimitrakopoulos said in a joint statement.The EU lawmaker wants the travel restrictions to be lifted as she wishes to attend the next plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg mid-June, Dimitrakopoulos said.On Friday, the attorneys had said that “the restrictive condition of the ban on leaving Belgium, which was imposed, does not upset her, since Kaili will return to Greece only after her judicial vindication.”Despite pledges to return to work, Kaili did not attend Thursday’s session of the European Parliament “due to a personal o...
