She is described as unreliable. Prosecutor of the Special Court prosecutors questioned as witnesses against a former minister Dimitris Papagelopoulouoffering to exonerate the former minister on charges of dereliction of duty.

According to the lady Olga Smyrli complaints against Papagelopoulos by three prosecutors (Georgia Tzatani, Eleni Raikou And Panagiotis Athanasiou) were not confirmed by other evidence, and their testimony, in the opinion of the prosecutor, is unreliable, contradictory and does not correspond to reality.

Ms. Smirlis also suggested sending a prosecutor to the Special Court. Eleni Tulupakiwho is on trial for abuse of power because she did not send his petitions to Parliament. KINAL to two former ministers of health under the SYRIZA government on drug pricing issues.

The prosecutor’s office also offered to fire Dimitris Papaggelopoulos, who is being tried as a moral criminal due to Tulupakis’s inaction.

Prosecutor’s proposal in detail

• Dismissal on the complaint of prosecutor Tsatani

At the suggestion of the Prosecutor of the Special Court for Appeals against Dimitris Papagelopoulos, the Honorary Appellate Prosecutor Georgia Tzatani, who handled the case of businessman Andreas Vgenopoulos, was acquitted.

According to prosecutor Olga Smyrlis, Georgia’s prosecutor Tsatani’s actions in the Vgenopoulos case were described as “sabotage” and her testimony was deemed unconvincing.

Georgia Tzatani denounced then-minister Dimitris Papagelopoulos from the outset for pressuring Vgenopoulos to have the case heard at his suggestion, allegations that prompted a parliamentary inquiry that was never completed.

According to the Prosecutor of the Special Court, the allegations of pressure from Papagelopoulos in the Vgenopoulos case are not supported by any evidence.

• Acquittal on complaint by prosecutor Athanasiou

Regarding the complaints against Papagelopoulos by prosecutor Panagiotis Afanasiou, who was the head of the Economic Prosecutor’s Office, Ms Smirli spoke about the unreliability of the evidence, as she claimed that the witness had run into contradictions, attributing to him “empathy at the expense of Dimitris”. Papagelopoulos” about the non-renewal of his term in the Financial Prosecutor’s Office.

Pot. Athanasiou denounced former minister Dimitris Papagelopoulos for interfering with his work in cases such as tax audits of SKAI TV owner Yiannis Alafouzos, the case of businessman Andreas Vgenopoulos and NEON journalist Yorgos Papachristou, for whom – on charges – he asked him (Papagelopoulos) to fabricate evidence against him .

According to Mrs. Smirlis, something like this (fabrication of evidence against Papachristou) was impossible, because in order to do something like this, the participation of many services and many people is required.

“Athanasiou,” said Mrs. Smirli, “had often visited Papagelopoulos on matters related to financial persecution. Athanasiou expressed interest in extending his term and informed the then Supreme Court Prosecutor, Xeni Dimitriou, about it. However, it did not continue due to service issues encountered along the way. He shows sympathy for Dimitrios Papagelopoulos for not extending his term,” Ms Smirli concluded, citing a number of prosecutor Pan’s service problems. Afanasiou and concluded that “the credibility of the witness is being checked.”

Finally, the prosecutor stressed in her petition that Athanasiou’s complaints against Papagelopoulos were not enough to substantiate the accusation, since they were not supported by other evidence, and the witness himself was being verified as unreliable.

• Help with Raiku complaints

The Special Court’s prosecutor also called the testimony against former minister Dimitris Papagelopoulos prosecutor Eleni Raikou, who was the head of the prosecutor’s office for corruption cases and resigned, condemning pressure from the minister in court to fabricate evidence against politicians as unreliable in the Novartis case.

“Raikou,” said the Special Court prosecutor, “did not mention anything about what she subsequently complained about, that D. Pappagelopoulos had put pressure on her in connection with the Novartis case, nor to the then Supreme Court prosecutor, Ms. Xeni Dimitriou, nor her curator, Deputy Prosecutor of the AP Dim. Papageorgiou.”

As Ms. Smirley notes, “in her resignation letter, she did not mention Papagelopoulos’ phone calls or name those responsible for her resignation, but referred to major interests in the medical field and corrupt officials.”

In conclusion, according to the Prosecutor of the Special Court, Raikou’s complaints about interference in her work to investigate the illegal actions of Novartis by former Minister Dimitris Papagelopoulos are unreliable, false and unfounded.
In fact, Ms. Smyrli emphasized that in the Special Court, prosecutor Eleni Raikou reconstructed what she had reported against the former minister, speaking of “her gratitude”, thus trying to withdraw the original complaints.

• Dismissal and abuse of power

As regards the charge of abuse of power against Prosecutor Eleni Tulupaki and Dimitris Papagelopoulos as a moral offender, Ms Smirlis’ proposal to the Special Court was acquitted.

The accusation stems from prosecutor Toulupakis failing to send further KINAL reports to Parliament against two former health ministers of SYRIZA (Mr Kurumplis and Andreas Xanthus) on issues related to drug pricing.

According to the prosecutor of the Special Court, during the hearings, no evidence was obtained confirming the guilt of the prosecutor, but not Dimitris Papagelopoulos.

In particular, according to the prosecutor’s proposal, Ms. Tulupaki did not commit the crime of ill-treatment, since the KINAL reports against Kurumplis and Xanthos were not a separate case and were included as documents in the larger Novartis case. . As Ms. Smirli noted, they were not submitted to Parliament, even when they were received in the presence of Eleni Tulupaki by her predecessor, Eleni Raikou, who headed the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.

In addition, according to the prosecutor, KINAL’s reports were vague, without documentation and without evidence to support claims that this was not done during the Pan ministry. Fraudulent drug prices.
