The “suspicious relations” with Morocco since 2013

The former MEP, Pier Antonio Pancheri and her partner allegedly maintained a close relationship since 2013 Eva KailiFrancesco Giorgi.

Specifically, according to a SKAI report, the two men allegedly had “suspicious relationships» with the Moroccan government since 2013.

Specifically, their relationships arise from secret classified documents that were stolen and made public in 2015 by a case that became known as “Morocco Leaks”.

One of these documents is dated January 2013 and as it turns out, the diplomatic representative of Morocco in the EU sent it to the foreign minister of his country. The document announces Morocco’s decision to create a lobbying office in order to increase its influence in the EU. in the document Pantseri is described as a very good friend of Greece.

At the same time, in June of the same year, a second document shows that Pier Antonio Panzeri and Francesco Giorgi traveled to Morocco where they met with Abdelrahim Atmoun, the current ambassador of Morocco in Poland. This particular man was described by Giorgi in his apology as the man who carried the “gifts” from Morocco to the protagonists of Qatargate. The two men’s visit to Morocco at the time concerned a disputed region in Western Sahara which is administered by Morocco but which has been condemned for human rights violations.

The result of these contacts was that in the next EU human rights report there would be no negative reference against Morocco for human rights violations. In fact, until today, Morocco has managed to bypass a decision of the European Court of Justice for the specific region of the Sahara.
