Eva Kaili ‘s decision to change her lawyer for her defense in the Qatargate case portends rapid developments.
There has been no official statement from the side of Eva Kaili regarding the reasons that led to the decision to change her lawyer , to replace Andre Rizopoulos with Sven Marie.
However, various information is circulating, some of which state that the main reason for this decision was Andre Rizopoulos’ proposal to Eva Kaili to plead guilty and cooperate with the authorities.
Why did Eva Kaili change her lawyer?
Information from Brussels, however, cited by the Star channel, in the “Truths with Zina” show, states that this is not the reason for the change of lawyer.
According to the channel, Eva Kaili decided to change her lawyer because, after the statements of Antonio Panzeri, which led to the arrest of Tarabella and Coccolino, five people are now involved in the case, together with Eva Kaili, her partner Francesco Giorgi and Panther.
If the involvement of these persons in the corruption ring is proven, then the charge will be strengthened and will now concern the establishment of a criminal organization , which will require different legal handling by the defense lawyers, as the position of the accused will worsen.
Who is Sven Marie, Eva Kaili’s new lawyer
Sven Marie is a well-known lawyer in Belgium, who is considered among the powerful legal figures and often his public statements are divisive and cause reactions. However, the Star reports, Mari shows a willingness to cooperate with journalists and it seems that there will be changes in the communication part regarding the representation of Eva Kaili.
Sven Marie started his professional career as a footballer in the Belgian club Anderlecht, and now runs a law office together with his wife in the city of Saint-Gilles, Belgium.
He is the son of the former boss of the TV network VRT and speaks fluent Dutch and French.
