How he was a victim of blackmail from a journalist in Volos, was explained in detail by ND MP Zeta Makri.

“He told me to avoid negative publications. I knew the journalist. Volos is a small town and we had good relationships. He is three years older than my son and I was very hurt by what happened. But his behavior was left with no room. I chose to do what I did in the legal way and in consultation with the police authorities. The reason I came out is to prove that not all journalists are the same. This is an exception and not the rule, “the MP said, speaking to Mega, adding that this story has begun some time ago.

“It’s a few months, it’s late to believe it for a man we knew. It wasn’t something easy for me, I had no other room. I didn’t discuss it with my close associates only with my son who is in Greece, “he said.

The journalist – holding an informational website and a radio station – was arrested, possessed by 5,000 euros in the banknotes handed over to him by Mrs Makri after consulting with the police in Volos.

Zeta Makri reportedly, as she complained, had recently been under severe pressure and is allegedly asking her for 15,000 euros.

So they arranged for an appointment at a cafeteria, gave him 5,000 euros in accredited, with police arresting him.
