The former head of OPEKEPE, Nikos Salatas, who puts on all, making serious complaints, arguing, among other things, that the European Public Prosecutor’s Office has worked with the Inquiry Committee, although he knew that he had committed heavy criminal offenses.

The former president of OPEKEPE targeted the former director of the organization, Paraskevi Thanropoulou, stressing that he has denounced her to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office for 20 offenses. “I entered the organization and found lawsuits by the OPECEPE technical adviser. I found lawsuits between employees and managers. Mrs Tyherropoulou was a lawyer who had chosen the European Public Prosecutor’s Office as a special scientist. Ms Kivelou, Prosecutor of Appeals, called me, who is a coordinator at the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and which I have known for a long time. I told her that the one you chose should be controlled and not controlled. He has disciplinary and a criminal offense, ”Mr Salatas initially said.

“He seems to have committed 10 offenses and 6 felonies. (…) A superstar were called it. It shouldn’t have been there from the beginning. He went and headed the investigation elsewhere, “the former president said, adding that he then found other offenses reaching 20.

Mr Salata’s deposition continued with a series of heavy references but also a large conflict with PASOK MP Milena Apostolakis, who accused him of “an unthinkable attack on the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and its officials”. The following dialogue is typical:

Nikos Salatas: You are very biased against me.

Milena Apostolaki: Well what am I? The European Public Prosecutor’s Office has made a carbina abuse of power, criminal.

Milena Apostolaki: Your vendetta with Mrs Thanropoulou is not about anyone.

Nikos Salatas: Are you saying about a vendetta? Shame.

Indeed, the former president complained that the period 2022 – 2023 “were paid about 1 billion with excel. The system had fallen, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office searched only three officials who had sued Mrs Thanropoulou. ” As the organization’s main problems, the former president stood out for under -staffing and the lack of information systems, noting that he received “an OPECEPE before closing that he could not comply with EU rules in order to be able to move right”.

At the same time, in response to a question by Vassilis Kokkalis by SYRIZA, he testified that he was “mandated by Maximus”, while referring to a conversation with George Mylonakis.

ND sources: Government’s position is justified

ND sources commented that: “Mr Salatas revealed that in a telephone conversation with the Deputy Minister to Prime Minister G. Mylonakis the latter made it clear that” he had to let the European Public Prosecutor’s Office do its job otherwise there is no other solution for the government “. This development justifies the government’s position that not only has it not concealed something but the opposite “everything in the light” does it. In his testimony to the House Inquiry Committee, the witness, who has served as Secretary General of the Association of Judges and Prosecutors, expressed confidence that there was a close relationship between Paraskevi Thanropoulou and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, causing a dominoes of questioning as if they Typical and substantial qualifications. “
