Qatar pumps €160 million to Brotherhood in Europe: Belgian MP

President of the Belgian Temporary Parliamentary Committee for Fight Against Terrorism Koen Metsu said on Wednesday that the Qatari regime has pumped more than €160 million ($189 million) to the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe, which has resulted in terrorism.

This came during a seminar in Madrid held by the European Press Association for the Arab World in collaboration with the International Institute for Non-Violent Actions, entitled “Financing terrorist groups in Europe: purposes, results and future”.

The seminar discussed three main axes: purposes of financing terrorist groups in Europe, the results of financing on Europe and the future of financing terrorist groups in Europe.

The seminar fundamentally discussed the mechanisms to criminalize such acts and how to punish the persons, institutions and states that fund and support these terrorist groups.

The European Press Association for the Arab World is a young and ambitious association with headquarters in Paris, France. It is considered the principal meeting point for European journalists and employees in the European press who are interested in the affairs and issues of the Arab world.

It was founded in 2013 under the French law governing the work of associations, issued in 1901 by the ministry of interior, and so it is a non-profit organization under this particular French law, and it works to improve and develop the European-Arab relations by helping European journalists and employees in the European press to understand Arab issues clearly.

The European Press Association for the Arab World was founded thanks to the personal effort of a number of French journalists and immediately received a great response from many European journalists and employees in the European press who are interested in the Arab world’s affairs and issues.

The association’s activity rapidly moved to include many European capitals, like Rome, Brussels, London and Madrid.
