Qatargate, on Panziri’s wife “serious indications of guilt.” The court postponed the daughter’s hearing. Eva Kylie admits

First session before the Council Chamber of the Brussels Court of the former Vice-President of the European Parliament, Eva Kylie, in prison since December 9 in the context of the Qatargate investigation, and will take place on Thursday December 22 at 9. This was announced by the Belgian Federal Prosecutor. Belgian judges will have to decide whether to extend the Greek politician’s detention, or whether to release her with or without conditions.

“There are serious signs of guilt.” This was written by the judges of the Court of Appeal of Brescia, chaired by Anna Dalla Libera, in the judgment according to which Maria Dolores Colleoni, wife of former MEP Pier Antonio Panzieri, was extradited to Belgium yesterday. The college also refused the defense’s request to verify the treatment of the Belgian prison, holding that “no serious and persistent problems of malfunctioning in the prison system have been alleged”.

The hearing held before the Court of Appeal in Brescia to assess the request to extradite Silvia Panzeri, daughter of former European Parliament member Pier Antonio Panzeri, to Belgium, among those arrested in the Brussels investigation, has been postponed to January 3 in the “Qatargate” case. The magistrates of Brescia this morning accepted the motion they had defended to check prison conditions in Belgium. Yesterday, the same request was not granted to Maria Dolores Colleoni, Panzieri’s wife, who, along with her daughter, is under investigation for conspiracy to commit crimes, corruption and money laundering.

“We are aware that there are ongoing investigations, and that the events are serious. We need to clarify what happened, but it is inappropriate to comment during the investigation. This was confirmed by Peter Stano, spokesman for the External Action Service, when answering a question about an article in La Repubblica newspaper according to which investigative documents implicate officials from the European Union External Action Service. “The information came from the intelligence services, and from what I read, we will see,” said UNHCR spokesman Eric Mamer.

According to a reconstruction of the French-language newspaper, on the day of the blitz that led to the arrests, Kylie would have panicked when police stopped her partner Francesco Giorgi, who had just left their apartment on Rue Wirtz, a short distance from the European Parliament. In addition to warning his father, who was soon after stopped at the upscale Sofitel hotel in the heart of the European Quarter, while trying to flee with a suitcase full of cash, the former vice-president of the European Parliament also tried to reach out to Panziri and two other MEPs named in the investigation, who were not Their names are mentioned. Red flagged – other banknotes were found in Kylie and Georgie’s home – and thus the attempt to distort the evidence convinced the Belgian judiciary to arrest her. The Greek politician held in Haren prison, in the northeastern outskirts of Brussels, will appear on Thursday 22 December before a council chamber, which will have to decide whether to extend her detention or release her with or without conditions.

Former Vice-President of the European Parliament, Eva Kayley, who has been in prison since December 9 as part of the Qatargate investigation, admitted to investigators that she had instructed her father to hide her money and see her activity. Her husband, Francesco Giorgi, is with former deputy Antonio Panzieri, both of whom are in prison. The Belgian newspaper Le Soir writes it on the basis of documents seen with Knack and La Repubblica. Even Panziri partially admitted his involvement, pointing the finger at fellow former socialist Marc Tarabella as the beneficiary of the ‘gifts from Qatar’.
