In the study of every aspect of his economic activity “The Ark of Peace” and the individuals involved in its management, including Father Antonios, are currently the primary focus of the prosecutor’s office in their investigations. The extremely important prosecutorial order of the prosecutor Ioannis Sevi, who took over the materials of the case on the financial part of Kivoto, is addressed to the Economic Police, within which the framework of a generalized investigation into the finances of the structure is established. Critical and indicative for the direction of the investigation is the part about the offenses for which the prosecutor’s warrant is issued to the Economic Police. These are four felonious crimes of embezzlement, disloyalty, tax evasion and black money laundering, allegations that, if discovered at the end of the investigation, could lead to their temporary detention.

In particular, the Financial Police undertakes to carry out: a tax audit of the structure’s finances for the last five years. Administrative control and notification of its results. Research for any type of grant or funding has been provided to Ark by government agencies or European foundations. Opening of accounts for the last five years on the corporate accounts of Kivotos, as well as on the accounts of eleven individuals, including father Antonios, the eldest, their close relatives and members of the administration. Opening accounts for individuals includes, in addition to transactions with amounts of money, the management of cards, shares and any other financial products that may be found on them.

The investigation into the finances of the structure, which essentially leaves nothing out, is expected to be completed in a relatively short time, as the Athenian prosecutor’s office estimates that the picture should soon become clearer, as there are thousands of sponsors, small or adults who want to know for sure what happened to the Ark’s finances.

Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office

At the same time, investigations by the prosecutor’s office for juvenile affairs are underway in the criminal part, on complaints of child abuse or sexual harassment against someone. However, apart from the complaint of a 19-year-old former prisoner about sexual harassment by Father Antonio, there is currently no other such complaint. The 19-year-old was even called for additional testimony and reportedly described the events differently than in his first statement, but insisted that he had been sexually harassed.
