The Eurochamber bribery scandal involves Morocco, according to 'Der Spiegel'

MADRID, 14 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The scandal of the bribery of the European Parliament from Qatar would also implicate Morocco, which would be involved in the corruption scheme to gain political and economic weight in Brussels, as reported by the weekly 'Der Spiegel'.

The investigative documents consulted by the German media indicate that the former Italian MEP Pier Antonio Panzeri would have accepted money from both Qatar and Morocco to determine certain political decisions of the European Parliament.

Thus, two members of the Panzeri family would have helped transport the "gifts" given to them by the Moroccan ambassador of a country in the eastern European Union.

The Belgian Police found 1.5 million euros in cash in some 20 home searches including that of the now former vice president of the European Parliament, the Greek socialist Eva Kaili, and Panzeri.

Along with Panzeri and Kaili, both from the European Social Democratic family, Francesco Giorgi --Kaili's partner and parliamentary assistant--, and a fourth person remain detained in the framework of the investigation. All of them will appear on Wednesday before the Brussels Court of First Instance.
