PA Plundered 2.5 Billion Euros of EU Aid
I repeatedly called the attention of the EU and member countries, in past articles, to the corruption of the PA and the transfer huge sums of EU tax-payer money to the so-called PA, which is run by professional thieves, to the looting these funds, which have been provided as support for the Palestinians since even before the establishment of the Palestinian Authority during the era which was called the “Palestinian Revolution”. See: EU Ignores Internal Problems and Donates Millions to the PA“The EU and other friendly states provided money aids to the PA in order enable them to pay the benefits of the recipients of social security and retirement pensions. The EU helps to cover the allocation of 750 shekels monthly for each recipient of social security money, but because of the corruption and the thefts from these money pools, the social cases now receive their 750 shekels of social security money not monthly but once each three months.” See: Theft of the EU Social Allowances
In addition, I pointed out how the PA is paying fictitious salaries to people who reside in Arab countries outside of Palestine, or to others with duplicated names, or to people who receive multiple salaries from several different PA institutions, or PA elements who use Palestinian funds to travel abroad and stay at luxury hotels to dancing parties celebrated under the names of occasions which concern Fatah, Abbas party, and lastly the practice of paying salaries to deceased people. For example, the transfer of payments to the (former) mistress of the deceased President Yasser Arafat, Rashida Mahran, an Egyptian woman who carried several names and who had personal and financial ties with several PA elements. Mahran had been living in Egypt for decades but was still receiving a monthly salary from the PA, even after she died on past November 2 2012. See: Corruption and the Mistresses of President Arafat /Theft of the EU Social Allowances
“Thousands of slots on the PA payroll are actually people who have never seen the doors of their supposed offices in Palestine; they are simply minions of the regime who live in luxury around the world. The same can be said of hundreds of diplomatic employees personnel in the EU and around the world, where minions and the corrupt as untalented relatives of the well-connected occupy offices far above their abilities and are paid far in excess of any supposedly rendered “services”. Over the years I have met enough Palestinian “employees” who, while receiving monthly salaries because the hold a certain position, I know for certain that they have never seen the embassies where they supposedly work from the inside.” http://www.kawther.info/wpr/2013/04/06/theft-of-the-eu-social-allowances
“… It is very clear that the EU donations reach ONLY a certain class of the Palestinians. Among the beneficiaries of the EU largesse are the President Abbas himself and his family, the other higher-ups in the PA and the PLO and their respective families, and assorted collaborators.How does the EU explain, for example, what it means that President Abbas spends five million Euros monthly for the expenses of his house and family, and another five million Euros as travel expenses? The President Who Can Be Described As A Fat CatAnd how does the EU explain the causes of extreme poverty affecting beyond 70% of Palestinians while Abbas and his coterie of knaves and fat cats live in unimaginable luxury in Ramallah? …” Full letter to Ashton:http://www.kawther.info/wpr/2012/08/19/corruption-and-honor-killings-sponsored-by-the-eu

The investigators drew comparisons to similar experiences of corruption and the poor utilization of aid money in Egypt, where a total amount of one billion euros has disappeared over the last six years
The Sunday Times newspaper in the UK has obtained a draft report by the EU that underlines the concern that the Palestinian Authority has lost 2.5 billion euros in aid over the last four years. The newspaper obtained the unpublished draft report from the European Court, an official EU institution based in Luxembourg, and disclosed its contents on Sunday.According to the report, the EU transferred a total of 2.5 billion euros in aid between 2008 and 2012, but it does not know where the funds were directed.The newspaper revealed that the EU recently sent a delegation to occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to investigate the way aid is being handled. The investigators confirmed, according to the report, the absence of any administrative procedures to prevent the exploitation of aid and expressed a real fear that the funds have been “misspent, squandered or lost to corruption”.The investigators drew comparisons to similar experiences of corruption and the poor utilization of aid money in Egypt, where a total amount of one billion euros has disappeared over the last six years.
