“The government what it wants to avoid is not the” show “, but the expansion and upgrading of the indictment for Mr Triantopoulos”
“In order not to collect further data, the government is already considering Mr Triantopoulos guilty. This has not happened again, “said PASOK Change Press Spokesman Costas Tsoukalas in an interview with Alpha.
He said that in 2020, Mr Papagelopoulos’s preliminary investigation lasted nine months for former Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou, in 2013 he lasted six months, while “both procedures were carried out by a parliamentary majority of the New Democracy”. “Then the pre -trial investigation was a process that was throwing light and would bring new elements and now is it unnecessary?” He commented.
He stressed that in the case of Mr. Triantopoulos “it is as if he himself refuses to pass through the body that the Constitution defines us as its natural prosecutor. The Constitution in Article 86/ par.
He noted that “the pre -trial committee is in the case of political persons the natural prosecutor before the case reaches the natural judge, who is the Judicial Council and at the next stage the Special Court”. Regarding a “government claim on the pre -investigation”, Mr Tsoukalas replied that “we cannot characterize as” show “as defined by our Constitution” and that “the government what it wants to avoid is not the” show “but its enlargement and enlargement.”
“Why,” he said, “the pre -trial investigation may, if, through investigative acts, see that another higher offense may have been committed by Mr Triantopoulos, to upgrade the indictment. While the Judicial Council, if drawn to the same conclusion, should send the case file to the House again. ” He argued that the New Democracy simply does not want Mr Triantopoulos’ confrontation with Mr Buyer, “he said.
Called to comment on yesterday’s statements by Pavlos Marinakis on Alpha, Mr Tsoukalas stressed that “the government spokesman a week before citing a constitutionalist’s view to support the government’s stance. Since then all other constitutionalists have come out and have been talking about a blatant violation of the Constitution. All he found to answer is that he cannot comment on scientific views. “
“In your show, as you say, he even argued that the indictment remains weak. So how, since he believes, deprives the right to those who believe that offenses may have been committed, to strengthen the indictment through thorough research and further collection of data? That is, if he actually supported this, then he confessed that he did not want to further collect data that may be aggravating to Mr Triantopoulos. This is a confession of a concealment of an act, “he said.
“We want the Constitution to be observed. The overwhelming majority of constitutionalists agree with the PASOK -Movement’s view, “he said, adding that” the prime minister, who now appears as an honor who wants to change the law on the responsibility of the ministers, forgets that Nikos Androulakis had made his proposal. A proposal that Mr Mitsotakis attempted to “exchange” as if he was in an oriental bazaar with non -state universities. ” “The Constitution cannot be an accordion and the controller comes and choose how he wants to be tried,” he noted.
