It’s Half past midnight Brussels time, and I feel tired and… one my readers forwarded this article to me:
Since the 1990s, the European Union has been involved in the construction of gas pipelines that transport natural gas from Asia and Africa to Europe. The most important player in these dynamic projects, the next phase of which is planned for 2024, is the Italian giant ENI, the second largest energy company in Europe after the TOTAL group. These infrastructure projects are important for Europe’s energy supply, especially today, when it is necessary to break away from dependence on Russian energy supplies. However, in the context of these projects, numerous violations of the Italian “anti-mafia law” (Legge 55 of 19 March 1990) have been committed by the European Union’s partners and their own subcontractors, such as the companies SNAM and Bonatti. SNAM’s and Bonatti’s links to organised crime have been documented in various ways and now the question arises whether European funds have partly ended up in the pockets of organised crime in Italy. Considering that these projects cost several billion euros, it is worth taking a closer look. Not only to analyse what has happened in these projects since the 90s, but also to understand what needs to be done so that this is not repeated in the next stages of these huge projects.
WTF is this? I don’t know if it’s true or not but …. it reminds me of something … the oil and gas industry are a bit dirty. Money makes people greedy and the EU is throwing our taxpayer money out of the windows.
