MEP Pier-Antonio Panzeri, imprisoned since December in the "Qatarargate" corruption case, will cooperate in the probe into the scandal over alleged bribes by Qatar and Morocco which is rocking the EU, after cutting a deal with Belgian prosecutors, his lawyer says. "He undertakes to say everything that concerns him, without fearing what the judge will say later, since this is what we have already determined with the prosecutor," his lawyer said. Panzeri, viewed as a key figure in the scandal, cut a deal with Belgian prosecutors on 17 January 2023 to turn state's witness in return for a lighter sentence. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
