Dimitris Avramopoulos, a former European Commissioner and current lawmaker with Greece's New Democracy Party, has responded strongly to the European arrest warrant issued against him in connection with the ongoing Qatargate investigation. Describing the situation as “nonsense” and “a load of crap,” he dismissed any allegations linking him to the scandal, asserting that the payments he received were fully approved by Ursula von der Leyen and reported to tax authorities.

Authorities in Greece confirmed that the arrest warrant from Belgium was received and transmitted within 24 hours to the appropriate prosecutor. Avramopoulos maintained that he has not been called to provide explanations to Belgian judicial authorities and suggested that the matter is the result of oversight by Belgian police. He emphasized that he sees no political implications for the Greek government regarding the case.

In his statements, Avramopoulos reiterated his confidence in his innocence and expressed frustration over what he perceives as an unjust targeting of his name in the inquiry, characterizing the entire incident as lacking substantive evidence.
