They have been under the microscope of the Money Laundering Authority for the last two years in total 100 NGOs who are active both in the field of immigration and in other fields.
As SKAI revealed in the main news bulletin, in 40 of the 100 NGOs, evidence of embezzlement, dishonesty and money laundering was found.

For this reason, the Authority proceeded to freeze the assets of the managers of the NGOs while the findings have been submitted to the competent prosecutorial authorities for criminal prosecution.

How the “rinse” is done

From the cases so far, it has been established that the managers of the NGOs use specific methods in order to proceed with the embezzlement. According to a conclusion drawn up and published by the Authority, three typical cases of action arise:

-Purchase of real estate from the administrators with money from the funds of the NGOs
– Employees’ salaries are returned to the managers’ personal accounts
– Use of the NGO’s income in order to cover their living expenses
