Three million euros in cash was reportedly accepted by Prince Charles, during his meetings with the former Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani.
As the Sunday Times reveals, Charles received the $3 million in cash. euros in a suitcase, even in a shopping bag.
[/P]Charles handed the sum to his aides who made sure all the money went to charity after counting it by hand.
The receipts were made in 2015 during private meetings between Charles and al-Thani at Clarence House, the Guardian reported on a story in the Sunday Times.
According to the British there is no indication that Charles acted illegally by offering anything in return for the donations. However, the episode raises some rather legitimate questions about his judgment and the receipt of large donations from a foreign political figure and billionaire.
The former Qatari prime minister is one of the richest people in the world. He has been dubbed "the man who bought London" after his investments in the British capital and his influence over the fund that manages Qatar's reserve fund. He also owns Paris Saint-Germain.
Al-Thani has admitted that under his premiership Qatar "may" have funded the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda without his knowledge.
[BR][BR]Clarence House pointed out that "the charitable donations received from the Sheikh were immediately forwarded to one of the Prince's charities who carried out the required checks and assured us that all the correct procedures were followed."
