The head of the Liberal faction in the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt, said that Europe needs its own special prosecutor, like the US-based Robert Muller, who is investigating alleged “interference” of Russia in the 2016 Presidential elections.
The provocative proposal was made on Verhofstadt’s Twitter account.
He said that in September, he will pressure the European Parliament to take measures to “clean up” the internet and social networks from alleged “Russian attacks”.
Verhofstadt stressed that, for these purposes, Europe will need its own special prosecutor, similar to the ineffective Robert Mueller in America, who is seeking evidence of Russian collusion in Trump’s election to the Presidency in the US.
“Europe needs its Mueller to investigate the extent of disinformation campaigns and other attacks by Russia on our democracies,” Verhofstadt wrote on Twitter, adding that “it’s time to fight back.”
What kind of Russian “attacks” he is talking about are not specifically pointed to. However, Russia has repeatedly categorically denied all such unfounded accusations of alleged cyber attacks, interference in elections, and so on.
