Reactions are caused by a publication of “Protou Thema”, according to which the protected witnesses in the Novartis case shared 56 million euros.

Commenting on the publication, the government representative, Pavlos Marinakis, states that it “solemnly confirms what we have been advocating from the very beginning. That the ‘Novartis scandal’ was an orchestrated but very ill-conceived scheme that collapsed with a wave, aimed at exterminating political opponents of SYRIZA.

The protected, from the hoods, witnesses, those ‘innocent people who could not bear to see the injustice’, were handsomely paid for their services, receiving 26 million euros, while their lawyer another 30 million, with taxes, indeed, paid .

Six years after the monumental statement of the Deputy Minister of Justice for SYRIZA and irrevocably condemned by the Justice Dimitris Papagelopoulos – in fact outside the Maximos Palace, in which the para-Ministry of Justice functioned, as former SYRIZA ministers now confess – that the Novartis case was the ‘biggest scandal since the creation of the Greek state’, it turns out that he was right. Except that it was the other way around: The conspiracy against political figures that the SYRIZA government “hung on pegs” and dragged them into preliminary investigation, resulting in the collapse of the conspiracy.

Thanks to the new legal framework established by the New Democracy government, there are now the right tools, if the independent Judiciary deems it so, to shed ample light. Now the Justice will decide – based on the new data – whether the hoods will come off the protected witnesses of tens of millions of euros so that they too can give explanations about their projects and days as well as their guides”.
