Qatargate: The developments brought by the Pancheri agreement with the Belgian authorities – The consequences for Eva Kaili

by

The deal provides for a limited sentence for Pancheri, which includes jail time, a fine and forfeiture of all assets acquired

The agreement signed with the Belgian authorities by the alleged mastermind of the Qatargate corruption ring brings important developments. Antonio Panzerias announced by the Belgian public prosecutor’s office.

Pancheri undertakes to inform the investigators and the Justice about the operation of the ring, the financial arrangements with other involved parties, the financial structures set up, the interested parties of the structures and the benefits offered, the participation of known and unknown persons in the investigation, including the identity of the persons he admits to have bribed the circuit.

The agreement provides for a limited sentence for Pancheri, which includes imprisonment, a fine and the confiscation of all assets acquired, currently estimated at one million euros, according to a statement from the Belgian prosecutor’s office.

Pancheri remains in custody as he withdrew his appeal.

What does the Pantseri agreement mean for Kaili – It is difficult for there to be a second agreement

According to information, the former vice-president of the European Parliament, Eva Kaili, had been pressured a lot in the previous days in order to confess.

However, this did not happen.

According to sources at the prosecution, it is not easy to sign yet another agreement, similar to that of Pancheri with the Belgian authorities, so she is probably “burning” as well as her partner and partner of Pancheri, Francesco Giorgi.

For Ms. Kaili, it remains to be seen if she will continue in the same defensive line, that is, that she is innocent and that her partner and Antonio Pantzeri were to blame for everything.

The former vice-president of the European Parliament will appear before the pre-trial council on Thursday to decide whether her pre-trial detention will be extended or if she will be released.

Developments are expected today for Eva Kaili in the European Parliament, as a new vice-president will be elected at noon, after her dismissal.

As reported by the Belgian newspaper Le Soir, Eva Kaili’s replacement will probably be the Mark Angel of the Socialist Workers Party of Luxembourg.

Voting is secret and election requires a simple majority.
