According to a report by SKAI, the climate for the former vice-president of the European Parliament is negative
Eva Kaili will be in front of the pre-trial council today at 10:00 a.m. to testify, while the decision on whether she will remain in custody in Haren prison for another month or if she will be released wearing a “bracelet” is expected within the day.
According to a SKAI report and information from Eva Kaili’s lawyers, she will remain on the same line of defense. That is, he is expected to argue that he knew nothing about the suitcase and the money and that he has nothing to do with the corruption ring. It now remains to be seen whether the prosecution will be affected by Pancheri’s cooperation with the Belgian authorities and what he has already said.
According to the same sources, the “climate” is already negative for her. However, both of her lawyers will be with her in the courtroom tomorrow.
It is recalled that the former vice-president of the European Parliament completes 40 days in the prisons of Haren and her father and child have visited her.
Pancheri “nails” Tarabela – I gave him money – It was in paper bags
With the memorandum of cooperation with the Belgian prosecutor’s office signed by the alleged mastermind of Qatargate, Antonio Panzeri commits to testifying about everything he knows about the bribery network that was set up in the bosom of the European Parliament
“Mr. Pancheri is involved, he does not deny it. This man is ruined. He must confess to everything he knows about those involved, the organization that was created and the financial network that was developed,” his lawyer said.
“I gave the money to Tarabella in different places. The money was in paper bags. It all started two years ago. The contact was mainly made by me and sometimes by Georgie. Each time we gave him 20,000 euros”, said Mr. Pantseri.
Pancheri is ready to tell the whole truth, says his lawyer
Antonio Pantzeri’s Belgian lawyer, Marc Utendaal, speaking to the Italian news agency Ansa, referred to his client’s decision to sign a Memorandum of Cooperation with Brussels prosecutors.
“Antonio Panzeri is ready to tell the whole truth and contribute to the effectiveness of the investigations. He signed the cooperation agreement with the Belgian Federal Prosecutor’s Office in a state of real psychological shock,” said the lawyer of the Italian former MEP.
“He is available to the investigators all day and night to answer their questions. He hopes that nothing painful will happen to his wife and daughter,” Utedal said.
He added, finally, that “Pantseri’s next interrogations are expected to take place in the coming days, with secret meetings” and that “in addition to the fact that his sentence will be reduced to one year in prison, he achieved what he wanted, not to hide anything from all this folder”.
The circle of arrests is widening
Monica Rosanna Bellini Panzeri’s accountant was arrested on Tuesday night and taken to Milan’s Salvatore prison. It is believed that she was a member of the network that laundered money coming from Morocco and Qatar and for days the economic police of Italy carried out an investigation at her offices and it is expected to be decided whether the request of the Belgian authorities for her extradition to Brussels will be accepted. She is accused of criminal activity, corruption and money laundering.
According to Il Fatto Quotidiano newspaper, one of the companies allegedly used for this purpose is Equality Consultancy srl, which was founded in December 2018, with Francesco Giorgi’s brother and father as the main shareholders. It is a company whose main object, based on its statutes, was the development of relations between NGOs, businesses and “interlocutors in third countries”. During the same period, another company with similar goals was allegedly created, again by Bellini and the Giorgi family, in Estonia.
What Pancheri testifies before the Belgian prosecutor Michel Clees is expected to play a decisive role in the decision of the pre-trial council, which tomorrow will decide whether Eva Kaili will be temporarily released with restrictive conditions or will remain in custody.
