    The Spin

    Narrative A

    The investigation into the Qatargate scandal shows overwhelming evidence that Cozzolino, along with other European politicians, accepted bribes from Qatar and Morocco in exchange for influence. Even his assistant accused him of accepting money from both countries. Now justice must proceed as corrupt European lawmakers stand trial.

    Narrative B

    Andrea Cozzolino has been a fierce critic of Qatar and Morocco, and would never allow monetary benefits — directly or indirectly — to influence his political decisions. He has cooperated with this investigation since the beginning and will prove his innocence.
