What he said in detail:
“The player is unpaid and becomes a ‘puppet’. I have been living it for over 20-30 years. The players used to be in a different process. The old agents used to approach the footballers for their… jobs in order to get the result. It had only been heard BEFORE something. There were dozens of bribery cases, but for degrees, in all categories. Panachaiki-PAOK 3-5 had reached the Court of Piraeus.
I have been living the pain of the players for years. In recent years, a lot of money has gone into football and people who are not interested in the teams, but only in the financial aspect. They raised and dropped teams.
The Akratitos players, the seven I represented, were starving. They were forcing them to set up matches and burning furniture in the hotel fireplace!??? And they were names of the time. However, there was no internet and no publicity, and little by little the criminal organization, as I named it in my indictment, moved forward. The game manipulation and player manipulation are communicating vessels. They were told back then, in the old days, don’t be a “refugee” to find a group. It was a different way of control.
Some players have now started cashing in. I was told of a famous player who had a backlog from a large PAE of over a million, but I only know a few hundred. I was on the Financial Disputes Committee and I know who owed whom. PSAT left the cases in the drawer to serve the PAE and there were presidents who said don’t claim your money. The associations have now changed and they say we want to claim them.
I’m not surprised. I call and they say the graphic. Where are the Disciplinary Bodies? Only Mr. Tsiolis had been damaged by the European participation of Volos. I don’t expect anything from Justice with the mess it has. We celebrate the arbitral tribunal that took 6-8 months to decide.
There are players from Heracles, Jacob, Iliadis and seven from Panachaki, who are vying for their money. The court accepted the sporting succession, but the execution does not proceed.
?In Iraklis, if we did not find a solution with Mr. Theo, even though the agreement with Mara was not kept and we did not get all the money, Mr. Monemvasiotis would not have had the opportunity to come.
I have filed dozens of complaints against judges, judges are also manipulated. In the old days, to put their children somewhere, not to get money. The Areopagites did not live up to their standards, I do not say this to win cases, but because there was no rationale. The case of Tsoumani, who committed suicide, did not touch anyone.
They don’t know the sport, they don’t care. The Federation does not make sure that they are trained. Some players tell me don’t wait to get paid, they will set up any project. They are waiting for the league to start to set up matches. I have evidence for the judges. When a judge dismisses your case for being out of time, is it rigged or not? The elements are carbines.
?Foreign players subject to international regulations are different, the Greeks do not have this privilege and with our match they can claim, at least, 50%. The English regulation was imposed on the EPO, with immediate effect when the decision is accepted not to license the team, if by 2/28 it has not settled its debts. Many accuse us of wanting to destroy the teams, we simply want what is valid abroad to apply”.
