A former Conservative MEP expelled by the party over expenses allegations has been ordered to repay £345,289 in "unjustified" claims.
Den Dover, 72, originally faced a demand for £538,000 the European Parliament said should not have been paid to him.
But the European Court of Justice has reduced that amount after an appeal.
Mr Dover stood down as an MEP in 2009 after being expelled by the Tory Party for "gross misconduct".
The European Parliament launched a probe in 2008 after it emerged Mr Dover had paid nearly £1m to a company, MP Holdings, which included his wife and daughters among its directors.
