The immediate reaction of Olympiakos was caused by the authorization given by the EPO Executive Committee to Takis Baltakos to take legal action against him.
The Executive Committee voted 15-1, with the representative of Olympiakos, Takis Agrafiotis, voting in the minority and speaking of “rigged flash parody» announcing lawsuits against the president of the EPO and members of the Executive Committee.
“Mr. Baltako you want to trap the members of the Executive to share the criminal responsibilities arising for you from holding the informal meeting called by Bennett. You talked to us in your short introduction about filming and filming. Did you have written consent for this from those present? Of course not! Are you recording us too? And the regular judges who judge here? It’s ridiculous to ask for legitimacy for an informal meeting where you weren’t even supposed to be there and no EU member was there. Where did you hear that? Where have they been before?“, said Mr. Agrafiotis, according to the Olympiakos leak.
“You ask for authorization without having minutes from the meeting and you do it on purpose because you have a specific intention. Because from the minutes it appears that some people said to fuck UEFA for example, I didn’t hear anything about that“, he added.
Then Takis Baltakos said: “I’m talking about me personally“, with Mr. Agrafiotis answering: “If you talk personally, you are a lawyer, file lawsuits. However, as a member of the EU, I make it clear that I will take legal action for what is happening here today. In the informal meeting you admitted to, what is Mandalos’ business?».
Mr. Baltakos replied: “He operated a small computer as Bennett’s assistant” and then Mr. Agrafiotis said to him: “You are serious; Are you serious about these things? I tell you again that you will be sued for everything and whatever illegal material you have you will hand it all over to me as a member of the executive committee. You are telling us about a system that records. I’m asking you. Do you have written consent?».
The president of the EPO replied “NO I have not” and Mr. Agrafiotis continued: “So you know the illegality, you know but you are bringing this issue up for reasons we all understand. They practically do not have members in front of them. How will they rate them?».
In conclusion, the representative of Olympiakos said: “Legitimacy is lost, seriousness is lost. How were you, Mr. Baltako, at the informal meeting? Isn’t KED independent? What did you show up as? You and Mandalos were there illegally and irregularly. And I say again for all these illegalities you will be sued».
