Giannis Mantzouranis and Vangelis Georgakopoulos, advocates of the former Minister of State Nikos Pappascame to the investigator of the Special Court on the responsibility of ministers, Evdoxia Kiuptsidou-Stratoudaki, and submitted a memorandum of apology of the former minister for the case of television licenseswithout, however, Mr. Pappas himself coming to the investigative office.
It is recalled that the Parliament for the former minister Nikos Pappas has filed a criminal prosecution for breach of duty to a degree of misdemeanor. Mr. Pappas closed the circle of apologies for the case of television licenses.
In a statement, Mr. Pappas said: “New Democracy in the process before the preliminary committee suffered an unprecedented political stalemate. He clashed with the truth and “when I needed to, he voluntarily withdrew the body of the fabricated indictment against me. With acquired speed from the many years of experience of the Right in interventions in the judiciary, it continued the effort to instrumentalize Justice.
Nothing new emerged from the main interrogation process. Only the well-known false allegations were debunked and facts emerged, which unequivocally prove that I defended the public interest, where for many years other politicians and public officials left it unprotected, bending under the weight and to the benefit of private interests. The Greek people have drawn their own conclusions.
I will not contribute to the attempt to instrumentalize the Justice whose independence I respect and defend throughout my public presence. I am re-submitting the memorandum, which I have already submitted during the preliminary examination, with my detailed positions, which pulverize the accusations made by my political persecutors. The New Democracy of the scandals, of the clarified 7 billion direct assignments, of Novartis and Siemens, should have learned a lesson from the pre-investigation committee. He did not get it. He will take it to the upcoming polls. “
The lawyer Giannis Mantzouranis said: “Nikos Pappas, as the responsible minister of the Tsipras government, clashed with the harsh system of entanglement in order to put order in the anarchic radio and television landscape. To believe that in the regime of Mitsotakis from Crete he will not be sent as an accused is like waiting for the Minotaur not to attack you because you are a vegetarian “.
THE Vangelis Georgakopoulos In a statement, he spoke of “an attempted attempt to instrumentalize Justice and an ineffective attempt to involve Mr. Pappas.”
Meanwhile, journalist Gianna Papadakou today approached the investigator in the Novartis case and asked for a new, third in a row, deadline to apologize, as Dimitris Tsovolas’s lawyer for health reasons will abstain from his defense role.
