According to the conclusion of the Anti-Money Laundering Authority, a well-known TV producer and presenter had an organized network of companies for money laundering abroad.
According to information, from the conclusion of the head of the Authority, honorary deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Court Charalambos Vourliotis, from the investigations companies were identified in the USA, Turkey and Bulgaria from which cash flows were found to the television program production company owned by the television producer in our country.
In total the companies listed are around 15 and did not exhibit corporate activity.
For the investigations of the Authority, according to information, information from many sources was used and about the action of a close associate of the television producer, of Albanian origin, who actively participated in the professional activities.
In fact, from the investigations, it was found that the said close associate of the well-known producer participated in the professional activity with a fake identity card bearing a woman’s name.
The pledges of the assets of the television producer, and of his other seven partners, lawyers, accountants and other persons, concern movable and immovable property. However, the financial obligations of the television producer to cover the salary needs of the staff of his companies of about 600 employees are expressly excluded from the commitment with the orders of Mr. Vourliotis.
The relevant exception is expressly referred to all credit institutions.
Additionally according to the finding the amount of his debts to the public is determined at 12 million euros and not 22 as was initially reported, while the conclusion makes extensive reference to the financing of the producer’s company by the Ministry of Development for an investment of 10 million, which ultimately did not materialize.
