“Absence of the state to protect consumers from fraud at petrol stations” points out the independent MP Marios Salmas in a topical question submitted to the Minister of Development, Takis Theodorikakos.

As Mr. Salmas emphasizes, citing a related publication, “the cost of theft for consumers is estimated at 120 million euros per year, the state loses hundreds of millions of euros in taxes, while all the gas stations that have been sealed due to fraud since June are operating normally today ».

Finally, the independent MP talks about the “enormous personal responsibility of the Minister of Development”, noting that he had informed both him and the Prime Minister at the meeting of the New Democracy parliamentary group last June, about fuel smuggling and “a few months after the National Technical University of Athens finds out the huge extent – 1 in 4 gas stations in Attica – of the fraud, completely confirming my intervention”.
