In the memorandum submitted for evaluation, which is multi-page – about 100 pages – Father Antonios denies two complaints by minors of sexual harassment on his part, as well as an accusation of moral authorship for bodily harm to children in whom they resided. sometimes in the Ark.

His defenders are talking about false accusations that are not based on real facts, while insisting that Father Antonios never committed the crimes for which he is – at the moment – called as a suspect.

In particular, as stated in the memorandum signed by the lawyers Thassos Triantafyllou, Trasivulos Kontaksis and Yiannis Kotsos, father Antonios, controlled by criminals, among other things, states: were uncritically accepted only by some authorities, bodies and the media. Two statements, defiantly and deliberately false and self-refuting. In fact, the next one “copied” the nonsense and unfounded incidents of the previous one (!!!)”.

These “false” complaints, according to Father Antonio, served as the basis for drawing up vague “accusations”, even without a more specific description of the required circumstances (method, time, method), despite their obvious contradiction.

“The methodical actions of the first and main complainant continue, as he roams the structures without rights, trying to back up his lies. Fortunately, many children unequivocally deny him,” says Father Antonios, denying the charges against him.

He also adds that they are trying to build a non-existent, as he characterizes him, criminal case on outright lies, rumors, conjectures, false and fabricated publications with the assistance of well-wishers who oversee his work. The ark.

He concludes by saying that “to this day, many understandably take advantage of this issue at the expense of the thousands of children of the structure. We hope that the Greek judiciary will now fulfill its duty by adequately responding to the task at hand.”
