In the choice of the proposal to recommend prosary committee seems to be returning the PASOK, Touring two government ministers this time, Maki Voridis and Lefteris Avgenakis for the case of OPECEPE Against the backdrop of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office for the period from 2019 to 2022.
In Harilaou Trikoupi they are going to make the final decisions very soon- possibly over the weekend. However, yesterday- after the first reading of the case file- Harilaou Trikoupis executives noted that they were noticeable “clear indications of criminal liability of ministers in need of further investigation».
Party MPs undertake to carefully study all aspects of the case file and analyze The “findings” with the legal staff of Harilaou Trikoupi. Yesterday, successive mini-meetings were held in which they stood on the issue of ministers’ criminal liability. But at the end of the day, it is not excluded that some deputy ministers, whose names refer to the case file are targeted with dialogues with officials of the Agency.
“From the initial study of the case file, and in particular the documents of the Executive European Prosecutors and the Lords of Varra and Simandrakos, clear evidence of criminal liability of ministers who need further investigation.
KO of PASOK will continue the study of the massive case file in the coming days, and then do its constitutional duty to the Greek people and the public interest, ”they say from Harilaou Trikoupi, heralding moves towards the establishment of a proposal for the establishment. Lefteris Karchimakis They spoke openly about the possibility of a pre -trial committee (in Action24), although information emphasizes that all scenarios (and the Inquiry Committee) will be discussed. In any case, they will expect all developments on the basis of the investigation continued by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
For the OPECEPE scandal and the case file that arrived in Parliament, the press spokesman, Kostas Tsoukalas He pointed out early yesterday morning that “there is a political scandal here because there was obviously a mechanism that informed some of what they would say.” So political responsibility is a given.
As for criminal liability, according to Mr Tsoukalas, PASOK apparently must see the case file and the degree of involvement. “It is a given that if there is evidence of possible responsibilities of ministers to be investigated, we will move accordingly. We, to know, will go to the end in this story, the case will be resolved and will not remain as the government wants to be set. It was a public and European money that some who had to get did not get and others took money without being entitled to it. As a result, the country is once again disrupted ».
The statement of parasit
The case file, of course, records a brief dialogue concerning PASOK’s Heraklion MP, Francis Parasiris. The statement it made covers as it seems Harilaou Trikoupi, executives of which were emphasized yesterday that the conversation concerned Crete’s legal and real olive oil producer.
«I feel deeply surprised, amazed and sincerely frustrated, that my name is mentioned, without any reason and without the slightest criminal dimension, in the OPECEPE case “, was the first reaction of Mr. Parasiris, who states:” I do not have the slightest involvement or involvement in the scandal of illegal subsidies. My only connection to the issue was a phone call of just 90 seconds, which I received from a member of the Organization, in the context of an information on the case of a real and legal olive oil producer in my area. The farmer was in danger of losing his rights due to a marginally late application for basic reinforcement, a issue that plagues thousands of farmers across the country because of the bureaucracy and the problematic procedures of OPEKEPE. This intervention had no personal expediency, but was within the limits of the role of any elected official next to the needs of the citizens. I will not allow my name to be used as an alibi or tool of offsetting for the political and criminal responsibilities of the New Democracy government officials involved».
Mr. Parasiris also calls on any competent authority “fully explore the facts, which obviously have nothing to do with the particular scandal».
