Summary
On 22 April 2018, the Independent Investigation Body on allegations
of corruption, which was tasked with conducting a detailed independent
investigation into the allegations of corruption and fostering of
interests made against certain members or former members of the
Parliamentary Assembly, after ten months of investigations, delivered
its report. The report of the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities
and Institutional Affairs draws the first lessons from the recommendations
and conclusions of the investigation body, be they recommendations
aimed at improving the general operating framework of the Assembly
and at remedying shortcomings in the transparency of parliamentary
procedures, or conclusions criticising the conduct of some members
or former members of the Assembly who had conflicts of interest
and breached the Assembly’s rules of conduct.
