“Faithful” in the allegations of money transfer by the former Vice President of the Company Novartis Former protected witness and now accused of politicians insisted Maria Marangeli.

“I have provided a lot of information, in 2013 Mr Frouzis met Antonis Samaras. He first met D. Poor with whom he had developed a close relationship and through it the appointment was closed. A few days later they called me from the former prime minister’s office and told me to have him.

Mr. Frouzis came to the office with the suitcase he used, the wheelchair. He asked me to prepare a non -papper with the requirements she would make at an appointment with Mr. Samaras. When I opened the suitcase, I saw in the bag of money bundles. For my surprise … the suitcase was placed by me in the trunk. He then called me and asked me to inform Mr. Samaras’ secretary to make it easier for him to enter the Maximus Mansion and so the car entered the Maximus Mansion.

On his return to the office I asked how things went. He sat on the conference table and opened the bag. To my surprise I saw the bag permit. He pulled out a stamp paper from the prime minister’s office that was to meet with Staikouras, “the defendant said.

When I opened the bag and saw the money, I tried to show cool and show that nothing was happening. Money was also a daily routine in Frouzi’s office and the practices that Novartis achieves the goals were known, “the defendant said.

As she claimed, the company’s goal was to repay her debts and to get in the market.

“There was the Harvard Project in which Ioannis Stournaras played a role.

“I am unjustly in this position because what I said was for political figures, the political system that now must blame. Ten whole years I am a vibrant dead because I carry the burden of two children who have been bullying from the publications.”

Maria Marageli, in her apology, also referred to her call from the prosecution against corruption to testify.

“In mid -2017 the company gathered all the staff in the Amphitheater in the presence of the Legal Department and informed us that the company was under the control of the US authorities with which we worked and asked us to have documents and non -paper to give them if we were asked. And the head of the legal department told me that there was a research in Greece.

President: When you deposit a suitcase that arrives at the prime minister he is very serious.

Marangeli: My goal was not to move on, I have no with them. I just wanted to say it to get out of me.

President: What you are saying was contradictory to saying that a suitcase entered the Maximos Palace

Marangelis: It’s serious … I was an eyewitness in three meetings with Adonis Georgiades. Once Frouzis said I will pass to leave the folder. We went to the ministry. I was at the meeting and I saw the dossier given to me to a secretary … and a second time was given a file to the Ministry of Health. The third time Frouzis entered himself, entered and gave the envelope. The bonds of money in the envelope when we left Novartis were 70.50.20 euros. It was a money transfer clearly. It was the so -called win win. The same relationship was with the company and with Yiannis Stournaras.

The mom company channeled a large amount to all sections. It was like an octopus … so that the Harvard Project was executed. According to what Frouzis used to say, all this was done .. I was not ahead in Samaras but when he came back he told me that they were surrendered and returned satisfied.

President: Why trust you so much?

Marangelis: I was a trusted person for him.

Referring to Andreas Loverdos, the defendant argued:

“The relationship was built step by step through Maniadakis and Mania. In mid -2011, where the big goal of getting two big drugs were given in the market, I was not ahead of Vulkidis.

Frouzis had brought the company as if it were a state in state. And before the decisions went to the printing house, decisions came to us. We were the ones who controlled the decisions before they came out.

For Mario Salma:

The same thing happened with Mr. Mario Salma. The meetings were held at the office of Salma. When he returned from his meetings with Mr Salma, he called him unkindly and their relationships were disturbed because he had attached to another company.

For Avramopoulos:

As Mrs Marangelis argued, “according to Frouzis, two hundred thousand euros were given for H1N1 vaccines. I was not ahead. He told me he delivered them. And here he was with a suitcase. He had told me the amount here.
