Prince Charles: What he says about the three million euros he received from the president of Paris Saint-Germain

The charity donations received by Prince Charles of Britain were paid in the right way, his office said after a newspaper report said Charles had received three million euros in cash from a former Qatari prime minister and now owner of Paris Saint-Germain. which were placed in bags and suitcases.

Newspaper article Sunday Times reported that Charles received huge sums of money in cash from Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani himself between 2011 and 2015.

“The charitable donations received from Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber were channeled directly to one of the prince’s charities, which carried out the proper management and assured us that all the necessary procedures had been followed,” the office said in a statement. .

Recall that the receipts were made in 2015 during private meetings between Charles and al Thani at Clarence House, as written by Sunday Times of London.

However, the British newspaper notes that there is no indication that Charles acted illegally offering something in return for donations. However, the episode raises some rather reasonable questions about his crisis and the receipt of large donations from a foreign politician and billionaire.

The sheikh is considered one of the richest people in the world. He has been described as “the man who bought London” after his investments in the British capital and his influence on the fund that manages Qatar’s reserve. He also owns Paris Saint-Germain.

Al-Thani has admitted that under his prime ministership, Qatar “may” have funded al-Qa’eda’s Syrian branch without his knowledge.

Clarence House pointed out that “the charitable donations received by the sheikh were immediately forwarded to one of the Prince’s charities who carried out the required inspection and assured us that all the correct procedures were followed.”

Police and the British Charity Commission are investigating the allegations.
