The referral to trial in the Special Court for the former minister, Dimitris Papagelopoulos and the three prosecutors in charge of the Corruption Prosecutor’s Office headed by the prosecutor Eleni Touloupaki on the case of the involvement of ten politicians in the illegal practices of its pharmaceutical giant Novartisproposes the prosecutor Eleni Metsovitou-Fourli.
The public prosecutor in a multi-page proposal submitted to the Judicial Council proposes that the former Deputy Minister of Justice be referred to a trial before the Special Court, Dimitris Papagelopoulosthe three prosecutors, Eleni Touloupaki who handled the preliminary investigation and sent the file for the politicians to the Parliament, as well as her associates, assistant prosecutors Christos Ntzouras and Stelios Manolis.
The charges against them are to the degree of a felony for abuse of power other than the charge of forming a gang.
The charges against them are related to the handling of the Prosecutor’s Office regarding the ten politicians involved in the Novartis case, a case that has caused a fierce political controversy and related parliamentary procedures.
Regarding the businessman’s complaints Sambi Mioni for extortion practices against him by former Minister Dimitris Papagelopoulos and journalists who had apologized to Special Investigator Konstantina Alevizopoulou, the prosecutor’s proposal is in its entirety acquittal.
No accusation should be made against any of the people involved in the case, journalists Ioannis Filippakis, Gianna Papadakou, Alexandros Tarkas, as well as the journalist Costas Vaxevanis who had apologized for a series of his articles.
If the proposal is accepted then only the part for Novartis will reach the Special Court, not the one for Mioni’s complaints. However, for the final referral, who and for what reason, the decision will be taken by the Judicial Council.
