Billions in bribes

30000 people work in and around Brussels as deputees, delegates, and members of the European Parliament or the European Commission. But together with those, 35000 people work in and around Brussels as lobbyists to influence those same members.
So that means that more people are there to influence them, than there are to actually be influenced. You get the idea.

Last week one small pimple popped, as Eva Kaili and Antonio Panzeri, vice president and a former member of the European Parliament got arrested for accepting bribes from the Qatari government. 1.5 million EUR in cash was found in their offices alone, together with Patek Philippe watches, and designer bags.

Today the husband of Eva Kiali already pleated guilty for accepting the bribes of Qatar. Other members of the parliament testified that the Qatari lobbyists tried to bribe them for votes in favour with Rolex, Patek Philippe and other watches.
Eva Kaili and Panzeri stay incarcerated and are indicted by the Brussels DOJ.

This is only a small pimple popping, but the actual number of bribes runs into billions, that is for sure. The big question is, will they ever get caught?

Morocco too

Now, also Morocco gets into the eyesight of the Brussels DOJ. Apparently they have been trying to influence the votes in favour of Morocco with bribes of all kinds. Pleasure trips to Dubai for EU Parliament members, trips to Agadir and Casablanca, etc... You get the idea.
Fact is, that the entire European "square" in Brussels is as rotten as black tomatoes. And there seems to be nothing to do about it. Luckily, there are at least a few hard working detectives at the Brussels DOJ.

Have a great Friday!

Sincerely,
