“Mr. Polychronopoulos has stated unequivocally that no amount from “The Other Man” went to games of chance” he stated the lawyer of Alexandros Katsifos speaking Thursday morning on his show SKAI, “Today”.

According to his lawyer, some are trying to involve the private life of Mr. Polychronopoulos with that of the “Other Man”. As Mr. Katsifos said, it does not appear so far that Mr. Polychronopoulos gambled large sums of money.

“There is a suspicion that the amounts are large, we haven’t seen the amounts, we don’t know” he said and underlined that Mr. Polychronopoulos had no income from worka. “His only employment was at ‘The Other Man'”.

About the fact that the money for the structure was coming in in the accounts of his relatives Mr. Katsifos said: “He is being audited because he had not made fundraiser accounts and because he was not operating this structure in a more legitimate way. Indeed, for better or for worse, he was using these bank accounts of people he trusted, who he knew were involved and shared his vision and ideas and who would not misuse them for personal reasons.”

New complaints: The bouzoukis and the Greek-American

The same time, new allegations are coming to light for Konstantinos Polychronopoulos and for amounts that made “wings”. Speaking on Thursday morning at MEGA, one of the structure’s volunteers, Mr. Giorgos, was mentioned in money from disappearing boxes, for one bill of 7,500 euros in a nightclub and for one donation of 140,000 euros from Greek American which he never saw although he spoke with the donor.

“I was a volunteer one year at the “Other Man” and what I witnessed was completely unreal for me. I will talk about the shopping that people brought in on a daily basis of meats, food and other things, for people in need to take, and which they did not give. They told us not to give anything to anyone, only to people in his family circle. The food was made from products that people brought us. The meat was distributed gradually by people in his family circle, I doubt if they had ever bought meat,” he initially said.

“With anyone who did not listen to what he wanted, Polychronopoulos had an aggressive attitude, to shout and curse. Regarding money, they presented some boxes in various shops and those that were collected, when they brought them to the “Social Kitchen” they shared them among themselves the people who worked in the “Social Kitchen” and it stopped there”, added Mr. Giorgos. At the same time, he described two incidents, one concerning exit to… bouzoukis and a second one for a Greek American donation to the Community Kitchen.

“When I saw this incident that they wanted to go to the bouzoukis and they sent me and a relative to withdraw money so that they can go to a well-known nightclub and run up a bill of 7,500 euros, was the icing on the cake. When I came up against the part to reveal it, they threatened me and because I have children I was afraid that they would harm my family. They threatened me and told me that they would break my legs. The people who told me this are not known for their good reputation. They sometimes came to the action, but not all the time,” revealed the volunteer.

“The other incident concerns a Greek-American who made a donation of 140,000 euros. I was there because I had an eviction problem and in order to be given food I had to volunteer there. When the Greek American came and asked me about my problems, I told him my problem, and he told me not to worry and that this money transferred to the “Other Man” is purely for unpaid rent and electricity and water bills, so I he said i will be helped from there. As soon as that person left and I asked Polychronopoulos about this money because I was under financial pressure, he told me that there is no money and that the best thing for me is to get up and leave the “Social Kitchen”.

Mr. George even emphasizes that if he is called to testify he will go and for so long he kept silent because he was afraid. “Of course I will testify if called by the authorities. I was waiting for the revelations to be made, to come out and say it, I was afraid myself. Both he and a relative gambled over the phone. I have seen them in person. And at that time the money was running out. As soon as they lost them, they simply walked out of the social kitchen. He has gambled enough money. Last time he played via mobile on an account that had more than 1,500 euros and his “steps” were more than 2 euros.
