Former footballer Gary Neville has come under fire for agreeing to comment on the soccer World Cup for beIN Sports, a television channel based in Doha, Qatar. For the now sports commentator, quoted by The Telegraph, many of the reviews are hypocritical because they are not only aimed at athletes, but also made by those who have, in some way, connections with Qatar.
Thus, and bluntly, Neville even spoke of the British crown prince, William, who “has no plans” to travel to Qatar and support the British team, as is the custom of the monarchy in major competitions. A criticism that reached King Carlos III. “If Prince William doesn’t want to come watch the tournament live but it’s okay with his father accepting donations [de um sheik do Qatar]all good”said the former England international.
Prince Charles personally received a suitcase with one million euros from the sheikh of Qatar
In June, The Sunday Times revealed that Charles, at the time still crown prince, had received €1 million in notes from Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani (the former Prime Minister of Qatar). It all happened in 2015, Clarence House, then Carlos’s official residence in London???????? This was one of three times that the sheikh personally delivered money to Carlos, in meetings between 2011 and 2015. The prince says that he has not done anything illegal and, to the newspaper, the guarantee from Carlos’s office is that the money was immediately given to a charitable foundation. Despite this, the case is under investigation.
The criticism of the former Manchester United player also spread to the UK political class, according to the same newspaper. “If politicians don’t want to go to Qatar, but agree to receive their money in our country through political parties, that’s fine with me. But the truth is that I only see criticizing players and ex-players, ”he keeps shooting.
