Eleni Zaroulia has been put under house arrest.

Lawmaker Eleni Zaroulia, wife of Greece’s jailed far-right leader, has been placed under temporary house arrest until judges decide whether to detain her pending trial for allegedly running a criminal organization.

Judges disagreed Wednesday whether Eleni Zaroulia, who denies the charges, should be freed or jailed. A judicial council will rule on the matter within five days.
