Zeta Makri: From the beginning I had decided not to give him the money
“He was systematically asking for money so as not to write negatively against me. He initially asked me for 15,000 euros and we went down 10,000 later, I negotiated to make it believe. From the first moment I had decided that I would not give the money, “the ND MP said in new statements about the incident.
“Because we are a very small area and we get to know each other with this journalist, I had a good personal relationship, I shaken if I should do it,” the former Deputy Minister of Education said on the “Deniasm” show on SKAI.
I was expecting some move on his part that would show that he would not require money. To make the decision to move on I took about three months, he was waiting because I had told him that I wanted a time to raise the money, “he said.
