Tip of the iceberg

A state in the Persian Gulf, that is the official declaration of the anti-fraud agency concerning the corruption in the European Parliament. But it is quite clear now that they are talking about Qatar.

The Gulf state allegedly paid huge sums of cash money to several members of the European Parliament to vote decisions in favour of Qatar.
Vice chairwoman Eva Kaili was arrested and so was her father. Her father had 600000 EUR cash in a suitcase with him, in miss Kaili’s home 150k EUR and several expensive watches and jewellery were found.

Then there is Antonio Panzeri, former member of the European Parliament, and supposedly the leader of the operation also had 600k in cash in his office.

Up until now, 7 more people connected with or members of the European Parliament were arrested and there offices were searched, among whom two Belgian delegates of the EU Parliament.

This is probably the tip of the iceberg, and it shows once again how corrupt this institution is. Especially if you take into account that the monthly wage of a member of the EU Parliament is above 20k EUR, without expenses, and everything completely free of tax.

I hope every detail comes out and they get charged with theft of the community. But it will probably all get dumped into a deep dark hole.

Sam Bankman Fried indicted

In the meanwhile, the news came out that SBF got indicted today and was supposedly arrested in the Bahamas. But that’s just a rumour.

It’s a wonderful world…

Sincerely,
