The revelations about it are shocking drug ring with the old calendarists priestswho operated on behalf of two members of a criminal organization, with a turnover of thousands of euros.
One of the three priests involved in the drug ring he had previously had a career in singing and television.
From the artistic lights, in the bosom of the Church. And from the YouTube cooking channel, to cocaine trafficking.
The 46-year-old priest was arrested as a member of a criminal organization and as the man who spoke to the two alleged ringleaders.
The Narcotics Enforcement Command, who spoke to the STAR, describes his role in the case as not matching the races he wore
“At some point, he kept drugs inside the church and, on the orders of the masterminds, trafficked drugs outside the church premises.
There are conversations from which there is a clear order from the Albanians to go out of the church area into an adjacent alley to give drugs to a customer,” says Yiannis Karydakos, commander of the drug prosecution.
The old-timer archbishop maintained a YouTube channel and presented cooking recipes, while he has also been on TV show panels.
“He accepted everything. He said that at first he didn’t want to do it, but then he accepted it,” added Mr. Karydakos

In suitcases, the members of the spiral transported drugs. The second priest who was arrested had sent a suitcase with over 2 kg of cocaine to Rhodes. As soon as he got her in his hands, the police handcuffed him.
“These priests, taking advantage of their status and the fact that it is difficult to get into the mind of a police officer that a priest is dealing in drugs, used this cover to transport quantities of drugs throughout Greece.”
