UNIVERSITY OF A JUSTICE OF COURT AND ACCESSORIES
EXTRAORDINARY INVITATION – STATEMENT WITH RIGHT ACCESSORIES

Panagiotis (Takis) Theodorikakou, Minister of Development, resident of Athens, Nikis Street no. 5-7.

TO

Emmanuel Kottakis, director of the newspaper “Estia”, resident of Athens’ work on Eratosthenous Street AR1.

The Estia newspaper No. 43205 of the newspaper “Estia” published the extremely slanderous article on my face entitled “The European Prosecutor ordered a preliminary examination for two ministers!” As will be shown below, the allegations included on the cover of your newspaper and those contained in this article are false and directly affect my honor and reputation.
More specifically, in this front -page publication of your newspaper on Monday, July 28, refer to my name, with hints about alleged signatures that have been allegedly put as Minister of the Interior for the Assignment of the “Recycling Homes”, with a total of € 220. This article establishes the reader the belief of my alleged involvement in violations of the provisions of the existing legislation and allegedly irregular assignments of millions of euros, which I supposedly appointed and supposedly signed during my term of office at the Ministry of the Interior.
I have to point out in the most categorical way that this publication, in terms of my face, has nothing to do with the truth and reality, if your journalistic research had taken place in accordance with the rules of journalistic ethics, you would have found it easily.
The report cites EDEL’s findings, which relates to three specific bidding procedures and supplies of local authorities. Obviously I do not have the slightest relationship with these procedures that were carried out with the responsibility of the own. The relevant contracts were signed at a time of much later (more than one year) than I served as Minister of the Interior and with European Resources – ESPA – who had never been in my jurisdiction, so I could not objectively have any dwarf in that case.
In order to avoid misunderstandings, I clarify that my claim for the revocation of the article and the restoration of the truth does not conceal an interim will of infringement of libertarianism – which I respect and believe is the foundation of democracy – but is my legal obligation in accordance with Law 435.
In the light of the foregoing, in accordance with paragraph 5 of article alone of Law 1178/81, as replaced by paragraph 2 of Art. 37 of Law 4356/2015 and with the express reservation of all my rights,

I call you

1) In the next one of the performance of this issue of the newspaper “Estia” to remedy with a corresponding article, restoring the truth and rendering the events with due accuracy and
2) Notify me the corresponding rehabilitation post.

A competent bailiff is ordered to legally serve the present to him, to his knowledge and for the legal consequences.
