Her sources commented on the prosecutor’s inquiry into his company and recalled the law of 2016 of the Syriza government. Specific sources of the ND regarding the investigation of the prosecution for the company of SYRIZA President Stefanos Kasselakis state: “About what SYRIZA supports, Mr. Kasselakis on the one hand says that he is not sure whether he has an obligation to make a statement because there is a dispute over the obligation: There is no dispute, the law is clear and it is incumbent on anyone who is the leader of a parliamentary group represented in a national or European Parliament not to participate in a foreign company and even under the law of SYRIZA 2016. Something that Syriza admits indirectly when they say he will transfer his shares. ‘I wonder if the provision does not take over and there is no dispute why it will pass them on? Therefore, Mr Kasselakis once again agrees that he still owns shares of foreign companies, so all this time he violates the relevant legislation. (The relevant provision was followed) What legislation on the incompatibility of political persons with regard to their participation in companies provides for: According to Article 8 of Law 3213/2003 and under the heading: ‘The prohibition of participation in a foreign-based company for civil persons, prohibitions on participation in companies based in non-cooperating tax States and States with preferential tax regime’ is laid down: 1. The Prime Minister, the Heads of Political Parties represented in the National or European Parliament, as well as those receiving state funding, the Ministers, Deputy Ministers and Deputy Ministers, the Members and Members of the European Parliament and those managing the finances of political parties as above, the General and Special Secretaries of the Parliament and the General Government, the Regional Authorities and the Mayors shall be prohibited from participating in the administration or the capital of companies, which are based in real or registered abroad, either in person or with surrogate persons. … 3. In violation of paragraph 1, direct or indirect participation in a company established abroad shall be punishable by imprisonment of at least two (2) years and by a financial penalty of between EUR 10,000 and EUR five hundred thousand (500,000).’; It is noted that Law No 5026/2023, which replaced almost all of Law 3213/2003, explicitly excluded from the repeal of Article 8 of the latter, concerning the prohibition of the participation of political persons and o Heads of Party represented in Parliament in companies based in the foreign or non-cooperating tax states or States with preferential tax regimes, resulting in the prohibition still having full effect.”
