by

The founder of the NGO that became widely known for its involvement in the Organization’s complaints that the Greek authorities left the 38 migrants in Evros to their “fate” on the fifteenth of August, although they were on Greek territory, resulting in the death of a child, is being checked for serious offenses as the Authority detects evidence of appropriation of large sums of money.

A voluminous finding that describes a diverse network of Non-Governmental Organizations dealing with immigrants, linked together with the aim of extorting funds from countries that support their action and appropriated by specific persons, was submitted to the Prosecutor’s Office and the relevant ministries by the Anti-Black Money Authority (Money Laundering Authority), under its head, the Deputy Prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Char. Vourliotis, according to dikastiko.gr.

The main organization that was the driving force behind the “leveraging” of the money was the NGO Human Rights 360, which came to the fore after the Organization’s complaints that the Greek authorities left the 38 migrants in Evros to their “fate” August fifteenth, although they were in Greek territory, resulting in the death of a child. Complaints that almost a month later, in a statement, the founder of the Organization retracted, citing a “false belief” that the 38 were on the Greek side.

Laundering Authority: Investigating a criminal organization

According to information, the founder of the NGO Human Rights 360, is requested to be investigated for the felony of setting up a criminal organization (with sums of more than 120,000 euros) with the basic offense of infidelity, while the accounts of both himself and a close friend of the person have already been frozen , of the NGO but also of other persons. According to what is described in the Authority’s conclusion, the specific person with other accomplices allegedly set up a criminal organization with the aim of embezzling large sums from the European Economic Area (not the EU) in which countries such as Norway participate that finance such organizations for immigrants.

As mentioned, a network of other cooperating NGOs was set up with his alleged accomplices, to which he channeled large sums of money to provide services for the trial of the NGO. At the same time, he himself, as a private person, had entered into a working relationship with the said NGOs and allegedly collected the money that went from the Human Rights 360 NGO to the cooperating NGOs, in which he appeared as a partner. The amount is said to be well over 120,000 euros.
