Figa-Talamanca is one of four people arrested earlier in December on charges of corruption, money laundering and criminal organisation within the European Parliament, in one of the biggest corruption scandals to hit Brussels.
Figa-Talamanca was the secretary-general of a human rights campaign group which prosecutors say was used by the suspects to funnel money paid by a Middle Eastern country to buy influence in EU institutions. A Belgian court initially agreed to Figa-Talamanca being released with an electronic bracelet, but the prosecution appealed the decision and it was overturned on Tuesday.
