The unprecedented dissolution of basketball is spoken of by Panagiotis Fasoulasemphasizing that the president of the EEC, Vangelis Liolios, is exposed to the world of sports.
“He is obliged to explain to all of us what is happening in the EEC during his days“, the legend of Greek basketball points out in his statement, but also: “I call on the Sports Prosecutor to take action. I call on the Prosecutors to see if there are any criminal charges, as the manipulation of matches that are on the betting slip is a felony. I call the Minister of Sports, Yannis Vroutsisto take up the issue and send the matter to justice, pushing for decisions».
His statement in detail
“I’ve been around basketball for as long as I can remember. Never before has there been such a breakdown in what has become for the Greeks a “national sport”. I feel blessed to have had an active participation in its launch, at the same time I feel indignant that I “participate” (and here anyone can evaluate my decision to abstain) on the Board. of the EEC.
The videos with Vangelis Tsapa are widely circulated. First of all, on a human level, I wish him to overcome his adventure and escape from the pit he has fallen into. Human life comes first.
Mr. Tsapas is no stranger to basketball. He was one of the strategic “teammates” of Vangelis Lioliou, he was a man whose name we constantly heard throughout the pre-election period, wherever we went in the Territory. Let’s keep this…
Mr. Tsapas said that he has sent an email to EEC, ESAKE and the Professional Sports Committee. He claims that inside are receipts, bills, all the evidence. He speaks of “bookies”, of managers who control teams, of a virtual increase in share capital, of an “agreement” with ESAKE, so that the money of the letter of guarantee can be withdrawn.
All this – Mr. Tsapas claims – was sent to EEC and all Mr. Sverkounos did was to inform the manager concerned. I am not responsible for investigating whether what Mr. Tsapas claims is true.
Has Mr. Liolios been informed about this email? If not, today he must dismiss his legal advisor and all those who had an obligation to inform him. However, if he found out, he must inform the basketball world today what he did. He has said he will take the bet. At the meeting with the representatives, he asked them to point out agents, who have a relationship with groups.
He had everything in his hands. What did he do? He is exposed to the basketball world if he does not give clear answers. If he thinks he will be glorified in hiding, he is mistaken. He is obliged to explain to all of us what is happening in the EEC during his days.
I call on the Sports Prosecutor to take action. I call on the Prosecutors to see if there are any criminal charges, as the manipulation of matches that are on the betting slip is a felony. I call on the Minister of Sports, Yiannis Vroutsis, to take up the matter and send the matter to justice, pushing for decisions. I invite them to look over time for the relations between Mr. Lioliou and Mr. Tsapa, in order to understand how close they had come. I call on them to fight corruption, no matter how deep it has gone.
We are not prosecutors to assign responsibilities. We live for basketball and we will not allow any shadows to exist. All in the light. This is also our commitment, for the next day, when we will be called upon to give back to the EEC its lost glory and credibility.
