The money was to be hidden by the man. The official’s father was detained by police with a large amount of cash at a hotel in Brussels. Kylie also admitted that some of the illegal funds were also in her flat.
The former MEP Antonio Panzeri, an Italian citizen, partially admitted his involvement in the corruption scandal related to lobbying of Qatar and Morocco in the EU. He is believed to be the mastermind of the corruption schemes, the newspaper said. Pancery was detained in his flat in Brussels, where 600 thousand euros in cash were found. The investigation documents also include the names of three other MEPs who may have been involved in the scheme.
