So this is what ol’ UD figures is afoot: The large and widening Qatargate scandal means a whole bunch of MEPs are desperately bargaining to stay out of jail. Best way out is to rat on the large MEP famiglia which is the Italian contingent in that body. Italy is so corrupt that already-fingered corrupt Italian MEPs have plenty of not-yet-fingered corrupt Italian MEPs to give up to the authorities in exchange for better treatment.
I.E. – Hold onto your hat; c’è di più da dove viene.
