Shocks cause revelations from the case file about Mafia of Creteas it seems that members of the circuit had intruded into all areas of public life, from the Greek Police to the Church.
According to figures, one of the Mafia leaders, a 57 -year -old businessman, appears to even give orders to a former high -ranking officer of the Chania Security Department. In their conversation, the defendant asks the police officer not to intervene in a dispute because he will solve it with his “inflatables”.
At the same time, the defendant allegedly contacted a police officer already in prisons for extortion, promising that, through senior judicial officers, he would “set up” a favorable seat to be released faster.
The revelations also include a dialogue of the leader of the circuit with the Mayor of Chania, Panagiotis Simandiraki. The defendant sought to rent his hotel by the municipality, without a public tender, to house a medical structure there. In a conversation with his cousin, he says he was ready to “sew” for the mayor if the decision did not change, something the mayor categorically refused, stressing that the decisions were unanimous and there was no differentiation.
Drunches of priests and sale of land to Israeli fund
The involvement of the circuit with the Church is also shocking. Two brothers businessmen, members of the Mafia, allegedly blackmailed a twelve video priestly that recorded his personal moments in order to give them an area of 700 acres. In a dialogue between them, the defendants say they have the “paper” that gives them the right to the extent, which they then sold to an Israeli fund.
In another conversation, a mafia member asks 200,000 euros by the Israeli, saying that documents certifying ownership of the land deserve 300,000 euros.
In addition, the two brothers have been recorded to chat about its succession Metropolis of Kydonia and Apokoronasclaiming that they are promoting a “own man”. In another dialogue, one priest allegedly offers the leader of the circuit “part of the relics of St. Lazarus” to help him rise to the hierarchy, something that Father Melchizedek himself denies in his letter.
