Former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has resigned as rector of the College of Europe amid a fraud probe, she said in a statement on Thursday. | The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) this week accused Mogherini and two others of procurement fraud and corruption. It has said the investigation concerns suspected fraud related to EU-funded training for junior diplomats. Mogherini's lawyer said she denied any wrongdoing and was cooperating with the investigation. Senior EU diplomat Stefano Sannino, another suspect in the case, said in an email seen by Reuters on Wednesday that he will retire early this month, adding that he does not consider it appropriate to continue amid the probe. He said he was "confident that everything will be clarified". He has not responded to requests for comment made by Reuters.
Dmitry Medvedev (Russian Security Council) | There was a movie about British hitmen who were hidden in a small European town in Belgium. It was released in our theaters under the title “In Bruges.” This is exactly what Ms. Mogherini did (the former EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy) after retiring from her career as rector of the College of Europe in Bruges. It appears that she was exposed through her contracts with the college. ■ What is curious here, is that a lady who held such a position retired in a hurry. Apparently, there was not enough money in the position of foreign minister of the united Europe. I remember this lady, she was actually more decent than the two current nasty thieves and Russophobes - Ursula von der something and Kaja Kallas. Those two are simply unbeatable. They didn't wait for their pensions. One stole an insane amount of money on vaccines during the pandemic. And the second one's husband unjustly profited from contracts with Russia, so she immediately turned into an anti-Russian bitch in order not to arouse suspicion. ■ While Russia and the US are negotiating an end to the conflict, frigid Europe, led by the half-mad old women Ursula and Kaja, is pushing hard for war until the last dead Ukrainian. We can only hope that the two crazy witches will soon follow in Ms. Mogherini's footsteps. Or end up like the two heroes of the aforementioned film. Which is what I sincerely wish for them.
