The Moroccan spy who “shows” the way to money in the European Parliament scandal

Qatar Gate caused a sensation in Qatar European Parliament With Mohamed Belhraish, a Moroccan intelligence agent who was alleged to be one of the key figures in the corruption scandal.

Mohamed Belhrish goes by the codename M118, Politico writes, and has been touring for years European spy agencies.

The given name extends from Qatar and Morocco to Italy, Poland and Belgium. He was even known to European intelligence services for some time and is believed to have been involved in extensive lobbying efforts and alleged corruption that targeted members of the European Parliament.

Belgium’s justice minister, Vincent van Quickenborn, had given a pre-emption by suggesting that Morocco was also under investigation over the scandal. “A country that in recent years has really been at the forefront… when it comes to intervention.” It is believed that the above refers to Morocco, where the security service in Rabat has been accused of espionage in Belgium, where there is a large Moroccan community.

The main person to get the money

Things change, as he suspects that Atamon was taking orders from Belharish, a “dangerous man”. With Belhraish’s blessing, Banchiri reportedly closed his relationship with Morocco’s DGED after he failed to win re-election to parliament in 2019.

It’s even possible, as Politico reports, that Belharish may be the key to unraveling one of the long-running mysteries of the Qatar scandal: the money trail.

In fact, the Belgian extradition request refers to a shadowy figure linked to a credit card given to relatives of Panzieri – known as “The Giant”. theThere are many ideas about whether Belahrech could have been this giant.

However, Belhraish does not appear to be unknown in European spy circles as the media has traced his presence in several espionage cases over the past decade in many countries.
