The investigations in Belgium and Italy are progressing in depth and new elements are coming to the surface every day while Eva Kaili is preparing to spend Christmas in prison.
The Belgian judiciary is preparing new requests for the lifting of immunity for other MEPs in the Qatar Gate case, writes the Italian newspaper La Republica.
He specifically mentions that the Italian MEP Andrea Coccolino and two others are the target of the investigations.
At the same time, six bank accounts of Pantzeri, his daughter, Giorgi and trade unionist Vsentini were frozen by the Italian Court.
The investigations in Belgium and Italy are progressing in depth and new elements are coming to the surface every day while Eva Kaili is preparing to spend Christmas in prison.
For the former vice-president of the EU Parliament, this year’s Christmas reminds nothing of the past.
She will spend the holiday alone in a cell in the women’s wing of Haren Prison in Belgium, without family and friends.
“Ms. Kaili is alone in prison….Unfortunately, her child, her baby, who is 22 months old, is also alone. It’s Christmas ….. there is no one… Eva Kaili feels that she is living a disaster”, says her lawyer Michalis Dimitrakopoulos.
Kaili’s testimony gives Belgian investigators new evidence, as at least five other MEPs are in the net of investigations.
One of those named in the depositions of those arrested, last week was publicly asking for… purification.
In the meantime, according to the Italian media, the judicial authorities of Bergamo are moving towards the treasure of the “key man” in the scandal, Antonio Panzeri.
The warrant is issued by the Italian public prosecutor’s office at the request of the Belgian judiciary.
However, his political mentor, Pier Luigi Bersani, distances himself from the alleged mastermind of the ring.
Until Eva Kaili’s release request is reviewed on January 22, the Belgian and Italian judicial authorities are trying to “illuminate” other aspects of the scandal.
