Police seize 1.58 million euros during searches in the EP in the case of corruption around the 2022 World Cup
Police have raided the European Parliament in connection with the corruption case surrounding the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. This was reported by the Belgian newspaper Le Soir, citing law enforcement sources.
“During the searches that took place in the European Parliament on Monday, December 12, the police seized 1.58 million euros in cash,” the statement said. It is noted that the funds belong to Greek MEP Eva Kaili and former Italian MEP Pier Antonio Panzeri.
On December 9, Kylie’s arrest was reported. In total, four people are under investigation.
The World Cup started in Qatar on November 20 and will last until December 18. Earlier, the former president of the International Football Federation, Joseph Blatter, called it a mistake for Qatar to receive the right to host the 2022 World Cup. He announced a secret deal between the Middle Eastern country and France, thanks to which the choice was made not in favor of the United States.
