The criminologist, Yiannis Apatsidis, was hosted at the Trial at SKAI, who referred to the prosecutor’s intervention for the Greek arbitration institutions, but also the illegal betting circuit.
What he said in detail:
“We haven’t seen if the prosecutor disagrees. The issue is how it is perceived. There have been some lawsuits and it was put on file because of the law, the new code. When we receive copies of the case file I will be more detailed.
The prosecutor can investigate everyone’s responsibility, but when some of the accused are the complainants I don’t know what message it sends. Felonies exist, the issue is legally what will happen, because the code changes and creates problems.
Now 27 people are invited after three years. It is not nice, in five hours to have to apologize suspects and guilty together. The money is missing, the issue is whether we have fraud or negligence.
Some are not directly involved in the rigging, but the teams… If we also have rigging from the Super League, where someone wins the championship, someone loses it and political processes in the country are judged, then… Since all this is impunity, what say. When justice doesn’t work many times, it’s like living on a bet. Like… roulette. For me, it’s not about being late, it’s about getting a fair decision. Have you seen anyone get punished in recent years?”
