New information appeared on Saturday (25/02) regarding the so-called “Qatargate”It was also alleged that Antonio Panzeri disclosed to the Belgian authorities that Eva Kaili had received €250,000 from Qatar for her 2019 election campaign.

As stated in the joint Belgian report “Evening” And in the Italian “La Repubblica”, Eva Caili’s former partner, Francesco Giorgi, had a “central role” – as Antonio Panzieri recalled – because he was “hungry for money” and indeed “for money”.

Antonio Panzieri: Qatar’s support for Eva Kylie

Member of the European Parliament of the Socialists and Democrats (S&D), Eva Cayley – according to new statements made by Antonio Panzeri – will stay for a week in 2017 or 2018 with him and Francesco Giorgi in one of the luxurious rooms of the Hotel Mamounia “, in Marrakech. All expenses have been paid by Abdul Rahim Atmon.

According to Antonio Panzeri’s confession, Al-Marri decided, during a meeting in Doha held in March or April 2019, to support the European campaign of Eva Kaili – the elections took place on May 26 – with an amount of 250 thousand euros. In the hope that she will be able to offer her services to benefactors later, the Greek MEP will join the members of the parliamentary delegation for relations with the Arabian Peninsula.

Also, according to Antonio Panzieri, during the start of the World Cup, the European Parliament asked the President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, to intervene with the French President, Emmanuel Macron, in order to encourage the European visa-exemption plan related to entering Qatar. citizens of the Schengen area. “I don’t know if he did,” admits Antonio Panziri.

Also, according to Eva Kaili’s communications interception from Haren prisons, she was alleged to have asked a relative for a mobile phone and USB, which would be kept at one of her accommodations.

Antonio Panzieri: the central role of Francesco Giorgi

Antonio Panzieri confirms one thing between the two sessions that “Le Soir” has been able to ascertain, and that is the central role – he says – of Francesco Giorgi. As for his parliamentary aide when he was an MP, Antonio Pansieri says he was hungry for money, money if possible. He was in every meeting (or almost) on every trip. The young Italian, ex-partner – now – of Eva Cayley, admitted to investigators shortly after his arrest that he was the “cash manager” of the criminal organization, something that Antonio Panzieri frequently confirms.

Even worse, Antonio Panzieri strongly suggests that after 2019 and his exit – by all accounts – from Parliament, Francesco Giorgi will in short take his place as “maestro” of small businesses.

“Francesco Giorgi’s job was to do the internal management and help the deputies and outside parliamentarians to intervene. For me, it was an external action because I could no longer take part in the meetings.” Francesco Giorgi’s lawyer points out that “leakages to the press of information covered by the confidentiality order continue, and you will understand that I could not participate in such practices.”

Antonio Panziri: Everything he admitted about the Qatargate scandal

Antonio Panziri began to confess everything to the investigators of the Central Office for the Suppression of Corruption (OCRC). And the agreement he signed, in January, with the Federal Prosecutor’s Office in January depends on his good cooperation. In fact, “Le Soir”, “Knack” and “La Repubblica” obtained Antonio Panzieri’s statements of 2 and 13 February, as well as other documents from the investigation file.

Thus, the 67-year-old former Italian member of Parliament analyzed all aspects of this corruption plan that he allegedly put in place against the European Parliament and in favor of Morocco, Qatar and Mauritania. Sometimes Antonio Panzieri clears some suspects. In particular, the director of the unions, Nicolos Talamanca, whom Judge Michel Cleese decided to release the day after the testimony of Antonio Pantzeri, which took place on February 2.

Lawyers for Eva Cayley and Mark Tarabella, who are accused by Antonio Panzeri, according to his statements, have asked for a confrontation between their clients and the former Italian member of parliament.

In one of his last statements, Antonio Panzieri admits that he received – together with his right-hand man, Francesco Giorgi – no less than 2.6 million euros from the three foreign countries mentioned, and even more in cash. Part of this money, according to Antonio Panzieri, was redistributed to members of the European Parliament and parliamentary assistants between 2018 and 2022. Qatar, according to him, will be the main “client” of the organization, which he admits he led. Morocco paid no less than 180,000 euros in cash (excluding gifts and travel) and Mauritania only 200,000 euros to my “partners” Antonio Pantzeri and Francesco Giorgi.

The former MEP launched harsh accusations against the Belgian Marc Tarabella, who had already been “charged” with him since his first interrogation after his arrest, but also against MEPs Andrea Coccolino, Eva Cayley and Lara Comi. Antonio Panzeri also reported giving gifts or money to two political aides and advisers from the Social Democrats (S&D) group.
