“The “trouble” of a long-standing pathology is being highlighted in the Commission of Inquiry, with critical witnesses providing evidence that reveals a mechanism well established on the backs of honest farmers” ND sources report and note: “A mechanism that the government is now trying to break, through the transition of OPEKEPE to AADE, the abolition of the technical solution, but also the completion of the Action Plan II, in agreement with the European Commission”.
As ND sources emphasize, “”Green” companies, “green” KYD and “technical solutions” inspired by “green” executives of PASOK make up a network of interconnections and interdependencies that ultimately led to the imposition of hundreds of millions of fines.”
They also point out that “disclosures for the shareholders of Cognitera and their relationship with certified Declaration Reception Centers (KYD). The representative of the company, Spyridonas Karambianis, testified to the investigation committee that “the owners of AGROGENESIS Corinthia EPE are the Agrinio Union and its subsidiaries…
AGROGENESIS declares the headquarters of MESYNEL in Kalamata, exactly the same headquarters”. At the same time, he confirmed that “in 2022, AGROPOINT Kalamatas M IKE will be established with its headquarters again at the same headquarters of MESYNEL and it will also be certified as a KYD”.
According to the sources of the ruling party“The identification of headquarters between three different companies in Kalamata reveals a network with a common control center, while MP Periklis Mantas reminded that “if something like this has happened, it is illegal based on European rules”, as it is forbidden for a technical consultant to operate a KYD.”
They even note that “In the same deposition, he noted that AGROPOINT “worked one year when MESYNEL did not work”, which essentially confirms the alternating operation of the KYD by the same business groups.
A model that reveals how the technical advisor of OPEKEPE had simultaneously turned into a providerpartner and client of KYD, effectively abolishing any concept of separation of roles. In other words, behind the network of Cognitera, MESYNEL, AGROPOINT and AGROGENESIS is the Agrini Union of Panagiotis Koutsoupias, PASOK executive, who served in party staff positions both under Fofis Gennimatas and under Nikos Androulakis.
This is not a simple corporate coincidencebut for a network of “green” interconnections that utilized OPEKEPE for its own benefit” add the sources of the majority.
According to ND sources, “Even more indicative is that all of the above has not been examined by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, which must monitor new developments and investigate persons and things that had an important role in the operation of the Organization.
It is recalled, for example, that Mr. Voridis is allegedly being checked for an “I agree” in a document that the then president of OPEKEPE and elected member of SYRIZA (and of PASOK in 2010 – 2013), Athanasios Kaprelis.
When, moreover, so many irregularities, direct assignments, errors in payments, conflict of roles and alternating operation of the KYD by the same people who represented the technical advisers have been demonstrated, it becomes necessary to extend the investigation to other persons.
It is now clear that OPEKEPE has been targeted by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office for absolutely specific reasons. The tangle has now been unraveled and the responsibilities have a name, an address and a political colour.” ND sources emphasize.
