The apologies of the first nine defendants were completed for his case selling protection to brothels and casinos, with participation. The judicial authorities decided that the alleged chief and alleged deputy chief of the circuit and the 37-year-old police officer should be taken to prison. The remaining defendants were released on restraining terms, appearance at the police station and bail from 2,000 to 5,000 euros. CORVERSE Earlier, “marathony” apologies were given by the first defendants found before the corruption inquisitor in order to apologize for the multitasking case that sold protection to casinos and brothels. At their expense a heavy indictment has been made that the defendants in the case through their illegal action, lived a luxury life, acquired valuables and luxury goods, bought or used through leaching in the name of companies expensive and large Cubism cars, invested in gold bars, participated in companies with permanent trading action and much more. First, the alleged mastermind of the case, who claimed to have nothing to do with the dozens of virtual companies of the criminal organization, was found before the corruption investigator. The so-called “Cretan” allegedly said in his apology that he had nothing to do with the exploitation of brothels or illegal casinos, nor did he ever provide protection in any store. CORVERSE The same attitude of refusal of charges was observed in their apology and the remaining defendants among them and the 37-year-old police officer assigned a key role in the circuit, as she allegedly gave important information to the leaders. The 37-year-old reportedly attempted to deconstruct what was attributed to her in the case. In fact, he allegedly claimed to have a meeting with the circuit chief at a restaurant, which has been recorded on video in the context of police penetration. In addition, she invokes a recorded call she made immediately after to her colleague and refers to “significant information” she obtained. Similarly, regarding money found in her home she was reportedly claiming that they did not belong to her, while for bags she claimed they contained gifts for her nephews whose baptism was in the following days. The same line of defense followed in his apology and the alleged deputy chief of the organization, the so-called person who appears as the administrator of the fund of the organization, as well as the “accounter” of the organization and a close associate of its second lieutenant who apologises tomorrow. According to his apology he argued that he is associated with a personal relationship with the second lieutenant, as they are best men and denied any illegal activity. For his part, the “accounter” allegedly argued that he provides related services to about ten to fifteen companies, while in three of them he is a shareholder. Information says he claimed that he was delivering at the command of the second deputy chief, bank cards, belonging to third parties, to a person of the building’s security in order to make cash withdrawals. The withdrawals amounted to EUR thirty to forty thousand per day. Tomorrow, the remaining defendants, including the second deputy chief of the organization and the special guards involved, are expected to pass the threshold of corruption interrogation.
