"Qatar Gate", 'Daddy takes the suitcase and the bottle', new

The Belgian newspaper Le Soir and the Italian La Repubblica are making new discoveries about Qatar-Gate, Eva Kaili, her partner, Francesco Giorgi and the "brain" Antonio Panzeri, describing how the network worked and the first reactions of the Greek MEP.

As Le Soir reports describing what Giorgi told investigators about the operation of the ring, Eva's partner Kaili was relieved after the questioning ended in an attempt to exonerate the vice-president of the European Parliament: "Eva clearly knew the existence of the money and the source of of them since we lived together, but she was not part of the network. She had told me many times to stop because I was endangering her with her duties."

For its part, La Repubblica in today's article conveys what Eva Kaili allegedly said to the police who interrogated her after her arrest in the December 9 operation where she was asked to answer three basic questions: Who did the money belong to and why asked his father to hide them when he found out about Giorgi's arrest.

"After the arrest of my partner, I entered his office. I saw his things to understand why he was arrested", Kayli is said to have said, according to the publication, to the Belgian police. He then allegedly told them that he found the suitcase with the money, a computer and a mobile phone: "So I called my father, who was with my daughter. I asked him to come get the suitcase. It was a suitcase from Pancheri that my partner was carrying. I knew my father would be with my daughter because I had put a bottle in the suitcase," Eva Kaili said, according to La Repubblica, then described the calls she made: "At first I tried to call Pancheri but I couldn't find him and I tried to I contacted Mark Tarabella and Maria Arena. They did not know why Pancheri was not responding."

The Greek MEP also described that "I opened the suitcase, I also opened the safe." I knew that he (ss Francesco Giorgi) was saving something for his former boss, Antonio Panzeri and maybe for his current boss, Andrea Cozzolino."

In the same deposition, Eva Kaili also refers to another suitcase with money in the house: "This money was what (ss Giortzi) had borrowed to buy the apartment." According to La Repubblica, the loan for the purchase of the apartment in Brussels was in the name of Eva Kaili and the money "was my partner's contribution. There were about 50-60 thousand euros in that bag, I don't know why I didn't intend to investigate his affairs".

The network was launched in 2018

In its article, Le Soir focuses on Giorgi's testimony about the operation of the network with her partner Eva Kailit, to mention that it all started in 2018 when Pancheri was the president of the Human Rights Committee of the European Parliament. According to the publication, which quotes what Giorgi allegedly told police, the idea to lobby for Qatar belonged to the Arab country's defense minister, with whom Pancheri agreed.

This means, as the Belgian newspaper underlines, that everything started when Pancheri was still a member of the European Parliament.

"At the beginning of 2019, the cooperation started. We had fixed fees, which I can hardly remember, for the interventions we would do. They were cash", the publication says, Giorgi is suspected to have told the police, while Pancheri is said to have testified that everything started in October-November 2019, even though he was not an MEP.

According to Giorgi's description, a few months later the system became more professional with the creation of the NGO Fight Impunity "because we had to find a clean system".

Giorgi is said to be referring to the plane tickets to Doha that Pancheri distributed to associates without mentioning, however, any other MEPs who had benefited from Qatar's gift of luxury accommodation during the World Cup. Francesco Giorgi

appears recently talking about lobbying both in favor of Morocco and in favor of Mauritania: "In Mauritania they had a problem with the image and that's why they hired Pancheri. I rented an apartment to the Mauritanian ambassador and Pancheri received 25,000 euros in cash."
