Misfud's buddy Gianni Pittella-
(“I always saw Mifsud with Pittella,” was a quote by lovely Simona Papadopolous.)
She was introduced to Mifsud in about 2012 by Gianni Pittella, a well-known Italian MEP who in 2014 became president of the Socialists and Progressive Democrats group. “I always saw Mifsud with Pittella,” she says. Pittella had no comment. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/18/simona-mangiante-trump-russia-joseph-mifsud-george-papadopoulos

Simona worked for Pittella before being passed off to Mifsud. She quit Mifsud in Nov. 2016 after only three months. She then claims to have met Papadopolous "At around the same time that she started the job, in September 2016, Mangiante received a message on the LinkedIn social network from Papadopoulos. Papadopoulos had worked at the law centre briefly before joining Trump’s campaign. " (Also Guardian)
