European Prosecutors Hand Over Case Against Former Greek Ministers to Parliament

The European Public Prosecutor’s Office has forwarded a case against two former Greek Agriculture Development ministers to the Greek Parliament. This move follows an extensive investigation into the misuse of European funds. After recent inspections by appointed European prosecutors at the OPKEPE offices, evidence pointed directly to political figures. The case concerns ex-ministers Maki Voridi and Lefteris Avgenakis, who are accused of embezzlement during their tenure. According to official statements from the European prosecution office, national legal procedures are being followed in this matter. The Greek Parliament holds exclusive authority to investigate potential criminal liabilities of political figures, thus receiving the case file via the Areopagus Prosecution Office. Prosecutors have refrained from evaluating the evidence, leaving further proceedings to the Parliament.
