Qatar's investments in sports and Western democracies are being used as a smokescreen to finance international terrorism, according to multiple reports. The nation's sovereign wealth fund, Qatar Sports Investments, owns Paris Saint-Germain and has made significant investments in Western media and infrastructure. The United States, which maintains a major military base in Qatar, has been criticized for turning a blind eye to this double game. Qatar has also been accused of funding the Muslim Brotherhood and radicalization hubs in Europe. The world must take decisive action to enforce transparency in foreign investments and hold countries accountable for exploiting sports to whitewash their regimes.
