Hearing in court today
Kylie is suspected of paying Qatar to protect her interests. According to Belgian judicial sources, a large sum of euros was allegedly seized from his apartment in Brussels alone.
Kylie and three other suspects were arrested by Belgian authorities on Sunday. They have been charged with “membership of a criminal organization, money laundering and corruption”. A court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday to decide whether they will be held in custody pending trial.
Qatar and Morocco are involved
According to a report, apart from Qatar, Morocco is also involved in the corruption scandal. The arrested ex-EU member of parliament Pier Antonio Panzeri was accused of receiving money from Morocco, the “Mirror” reported, citing internal documents of Belgian investigators.
Accordingly, two family members allegedly helped Panzeris carry “gifts” given to them by the Moroccan ambassador in the Eastern EU country.
Panzeri is said to have had official ties with Morocco during his tenure as an MEP, where he headed the delegation for relations with the North African Maghreb countries. (AFP/euc)
