Deposit from businessman’s secretary Christou Kalogritsawho is being tried as a co-defendant with a former minister Nikos Pappa at the Special Court, he also handled the ongoing litigation.

Her testimony Aethalias Diamantis (40 years as a businessman’s secretary), according to which “envelopes and bags of money that were money to help the party (SYRIZA)” left the office of Mr. Kalogritsa, caused a sharp confrontation between the defense lawyers of both sides.

Former Minister Nikos Pappas’ lawyers’ side said they have an order and intend to sue Ms. Diamantis for the content of yesterday’s testimony.

OUR Andreas Loverdos, one of the two lawyers of Mr. Kalogritsa, answering the questions of the lawyers of the former minister, brought to the court the statement of his principal. The statement reads as follows: “Let them file as many lawsuits as they want to hear what was not heard“.

However, the President of the Court Joanna Klapaclarified with reference to the testimony of a witness that “what he said was not about Nikos Papp, but about SYRIZA”. Here’s what the witness said. Not for Pappas, not for Tsipras.”

A well-known journalist Nikos Tzagris during his testimony before the Special Court, he referred to the facts known to him, namely that he had received a call from the businessman Christos Kalogritsa in order to “create” a newspaper that he would publish (for example, the newspaper “Proti”), which was published by him in 80s At that time, Mr. Tzagris was the manager.

Indeed, within 25 days, according to the witness, the newspaper was developed and his plans were accepted by the government and Mr. Pappas, who, according to the witness, was his representative.

But after a short time, Mr. Kalogritsas called Mr. Tsagris and told him that you “will be forced to leave, you are not needed because they need someone else, they need a director controlled by the party”, implying that the then government wanted to install its own journalists.

As Mr. Tzagris explained, in a newspaper publication, “Mr. Pappas will provide political support,” and elsewhere, a witness stated that Mr. Pappas made “political mistakes in handling this case.”

The surveyor also showed Anna Vlasopoulou and economist Dionysius Felemegasappraisers of a subsidiary of Piraeus Bank, who referred to the value and operational potential of a 5,026-acre site (of which 3,500 acres was forest) in Ithaca (so-called pastures) owned by Mr. Kalogrice.

The site in question was offered in 2016 as a guarantee for the participation of the Kalogrica family in a competition for television licenses.
