of Ioanna Mandrou

The decision to acquit all the accused for the scandal caused an intervention by the Prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Isidoros Dogiako. Siemens which was issued yesterday by the Five-member Court of Criminal Appeals of Athens.

On the occasion of the issuance of the decision that caused a sensation and closed the chapter of the investigation of a serious case through the statute of limitations, the highest prosecutorial officer, as the investigated offenses had been committed in 1998 and anyway until 2002 intervened by ordering a preliminary investigation in all directions.

As mentioned verbatim in Dogiakou’s order addressed to a public prosecutor, he calls on him to “personally conduct a preliminary examination and investigate the possibility of acts or omissions, of a criminal nature, of persons who in any way and in any capacity participated in the procedural handling of the case and contributed substantially in the statute of limitations for criminal acts”.

According to Doyakou’s resounding order, the prosecutor’s investigation will include everyone, who at times got involved in the investigations of the particular case with the black funds of Siemens, focusing on who and why they delayed so that the case finally falls on the rocks and is basically time-barred.

Moreover, the decision of the Five-member Court of Criminal Appeals was basically a statute of limitations for all the accused but also an acquittal for individual issues.

According to the decision, all the senior executives of the parent company Siemens, German nationals who were tried in Greece, the high-ranking executives of its subsidiary in our country, among them the then managing director Michalis Christoforakos, who was also tried in Germany but was never extradited to the country, were acquitted. us, but also the fugitive Christos Karavelas who has not yet been located.

Also, high-ranking OTE executives, who had been accused of involvement in the black payments of the German giant and because of the statute of limitations and because the court was not convinced if they took money and how much, were also acquitted.

However, the decision of the Five-member Court of Appeal, despite the prosecutor’s investigation, is difficult if not impossible to change as the statute of limitations when it exists criminally drags and erases everything.

On the occasion of the issuance of a decision by the Five-member Court of Criminal Appeals of Athens on a case known as the “Siemens scandal”, by which the Court ruled that a large number of partially punishable acts have become subject to the statute of limitations, and we ask that you personally conduct a preliminary examination and investigate the possibility of acts or omissions, of a criminal nature, of persons who in any way and in any capacity participated in the procedural handling of the case and substantially contributed to the statute of limitations of criminal acts.
