Media: The Turkish lawyer "close" to Erdogan gave 75 thousand euros to

A new dimension of the Qatargate scandal that has shocked the European Parliament is given by the reports of the Financial Times and Corriere della Serra according to which a Turkish lawyer with close ties to the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has given money to Eva Kail's partner, Francesco Giorgi.

According to reports, the Turkish lawyer Hakan Kamuz paid George the sum of 75,000 euros from 2019 to 2021. The Turkish lawyer himself claimed that he gave the money for "lobbying services" related to the armed conflicts in Syria and war crimes in Yemen.

The money, according to the London-based lawyer, was given to Milan-based consultancy Equality, led by Antonio Panzeri and Francesco Giorgi. According to reports, another 200,000 euros were paid to Eva Kaili's partner's company by a Turkish company in 2018, when Pancheri was still an MEP.

It is understood that consultancy Equality, which closed in 2021, has been targeted by prosecutors in Milan, who are investigating "money laundering" in a separate probe from that by Belgian authorities, which led to Pantzer's arrest. , Giorgi and Kailit. Corriere della Sera discovered a few days ago that the company in question had received 300,000 euros from England and Turkey.

The Turkish lawyer did not explain to the Financial Times why he did not choose the NGO 'Fight Impunity' founded in 2019 by Pancheri, but instead chose the consultancy Barazija, a company which is considered to have been a "window" to raise money from Qatar.

We recall that in his testimony before the Belgian authorities, Eva Kaili's partner referred to a certain "Hakan" from England whom he claimed was "Palestinian". It is learned that Giorgi told Belgian prosecutors that he was responsible for the connection between 'Hakan', Panzer, his daughter Silvia and his accountant, Monica Bellini, because he was the only one who spoke English. Kamus, however, denied to the Financial Times that he knew Bellini and Silvia Panzeri.

According to the Financial Times, in 2019 the company 'The Radiant Trust', in which Camuz was a manager, paid 50,000 euros to Equality, while another 25,000 euros was given in 2021 by Pronesis, a second company of Camouz. He described the results of the collaboration with Pancheri and Giorgi as "very poor" and said he was "shocked" by the revelations about the true nature of the consultancy.

"We thought we were dealing with a legitimate entity that would help us generate interest in certain cases," adding that it was Georgi who approached him.

However, the identity of the Turkish company that gave 200,000 euros to the Equality consultancy at the end of 2018, when Pancheri was still an MEP and chairman of the human rights committee of the EU Parliament, remains a mystery.
