With the agreement that Pancheri signed with the Belgian authorities, he undertakes to inform the investigators and the judiciary about the operation of the ring in order to fall into the “soft”
Antonio Panzeri has already started “talking” to the Belgian authorities, who last night came to an agreement with them to provide information to “fall in the soft spot”.
According to a report from Le Soir today, Pancheri says he was giving money to Belgian MEP Marc Tarabella:
“I used to give the money to Tarabella in different places. The money was in paper bags. It started two years ago. The contact was generally made by me and sometimes by Georgi. Each time, the amount was around 20,000 euros. Each time, we delivered the money two or three months apart and the last delivery was six months ago,” he was quoted as saying during the hearing.
Former MEP Panzeri was the one who offered to pay the Belgian MEP: “When there was a meeting with Mark Tarabella, Giorgi and I asked him if he agreed to defend certain positions and if he wanted to have various gifts, including money” .
Pantzeri’s deal
With the agreement signed with the Belgian authorities by Pancheri, he undertakes to inform the investigators and the Justice about the operation of the ring, the financial arrangements with other involved parties, the financial structures that were set up, the interested parties of the structures and the benefits offered , the involvement of knowns and unknowns in the investigation, including the identity of the individuals he admits bribed the ring.
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.
What does the Pancheri agreement mean for Kaili?
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 prosecution sources, it is not easy to sign yet another agreement, similar to that of Panzeri with the Belgian authorities, so she and her partner and partner of Panzeri, Francesco Giorgi, are probably “burning”.
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 Marc Angel of the Socialist Workers’ Party of Luxembourg.
Voting is secret and election requires a simple majority.
