Shocked absolutely shocked
Contrary to a report that appeared last year in the German newspaper Die Welt the European anti-fraud organization, OLAF reported this week that it found no conclusive evidence that European aid was used to fund terror:
The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) has closed its investigation into the European Commission’s Direct Assistance to the Palestinian Authority’s budget. On the basis of the information currently available to OLAF, the investigation has found no conclusive evidence of support of armed attacks or unlawful activities financed by the European Commission’s contributions to the budget. However, the possibility of misuse of the Palestinian Authority’s budget and other resources, cannot be excluded, due to the fact that the internal and external audit capacity in the Palestinian Authority is still underdeveloped.
Palestinian Cabinet minister Hassan Abu Libdeh was quick to claim vindication:
Palestinian Cabinet minister Hassan Abu Libdeh welcomed the findings.
"These accusations have caused great harm to the Palestinian image and Palestinian interests. Several countries either reduced (aid) or transferred through a third party, but now it is clear that these accusations were untrue," he said.
However even the language that clears the PA seems less than enthusiastic:
However, the possibility of misuse of the Palestinian Authority’s budget and other resources, cannot be excluded, due to the fact that the internal and external audit capacity in the Palestinian Authority is still underdeveloped.
Besides Israel has found documentation of this sort of corruption. Did OLAF look at
Israel's evidence? I suspect not.
And we have the following allegations from
Ungar vs. PAWe have a tape of Mr. Jabali indicating that he provides Hamas terrorists support. He puts them into his own security forces. We have Mr. Dahlan. Mr. Dahlan met with Mr. Deif who is the Hamas leader right around the time of the Ungar murder. And we have information that he was given a green light to specifically conduct terrorist activities in June of 1996. We’ve asked to depose Mr. Rajoub. His men, men under his control, were the ones who gave the fake PA police documents to the actual murder[er]s of the Ungars. They’re the ones who supervised the Tzurif gang, the actual gang that was involved in killing the Ungars. We’ve asked to depose Tawiq Tarrari. He gave money. It’s been proven and documented that he gave money and weapons for specific terrorist attacks during this period of time. Mr. Al-Hindi has been accused and has documents of his same activities. Mr. Boughati is a mastermind of a series of activities during this entire period of time. Mr. Arafat, he is not just a person who happens to be a Palestinian Authority, but he himself has a direct hand in various forms of terrorism, and more specifically his signature itself was on a piece of paper indicating approval for the killing of Americans after the fact. He rewarded Palestinian terrorists in the form of compensation, financial compensation, Americans.

The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) is only a small bureau of the EU. If the EU (read Germany and France) wanted an investigation of EU contributions to the barbarians, they'd have one. The EU didn't, thus OLAF's negative report.
Note that Europe - just like the US - is famous (infamous?) for their governance re financial crimes. After Europe's Parmalat hit the US$ 1 billion mark, the authorities waited around some more 'till the fraud got bigger - similiar to America's approach to Enron.
Germany and France want to assist the PLO displace the US and Israel from the Middle East. Both OLAF assignments and funds for the barbarians are tools for the same project.
Fraud is like antiSemitism. It's a product of civilization to date.
I don't want to write everything negative. Surely, some of the PLO's funds will get recycled back into real estate on the French Riveria and surely income producing properties in Germany.
Even with the Israeli material, a fraud exam cannot uncover all aspects of complex transactions. The usual rule is to rely on preventive measures. Disbursements to organizations with underdeveloped internal and external audit capability is an indicator of fraud on the part of the disbursing party.
