Responsibilities of prosecutors responsible for corruption for their treatment

"I will not go to jail," said deputy prosecutor Ioannis Aggelis, who has recently resigned from his position as Attorney General of Corruption.

Responsibilities for dealing with the Novartis case, which has long provoked a political storm, blamed the corruption prosecutors for reporting to the Supreme Court prosecutor, the former supervisor of their activities, Deputy Attorney of the Supreme Court, John Aggelis, while refuting publications, that the Americans testified a month ago to a former minister in front of a group of Greek prosecutors in Vienna and that they do not have not received.

Mr. Angelis, although he remained only three months as a supervisor at the prosecutor's office in charge of corruption, in his report numbered four to five pages, denounces the responsibility of the office of the Prosecutor for Corruption and Eleni Touloupakis for various manipulations, and refers to the case. protected witness Maniadaki, without detailed information on the reasons for this reference.

According to the prosecutor's office of Aggelos, according to the prosecutor's office, divisions and differences of opinion regarding the handling of the pharmaceutical gossip case, while the incident with the Americans to Vienna, that is to say the data provided by the Greek prosecutors, did not take it for granted that they were the product of espionage and they also denied the main sources of prosecution .

As Kathimerini mentions, the same sources indicated that at the meeting of Greek prosecutors and their American counterparts in Vienna, nothing had been given, nor an account, a political name or other in an oral conversation. The discussion between the two stages was in the same sources, "vague" without giving more details.

The Angelis report triggered the intervention of Supreme Court prosecutor Xenis Demetriou, who ordered the opening of a disciplinary investigation by the head of corruption, Eleni Touloupakis, and two close badociates who , along with Ioannis Aggelis, formed the group of Greek prosecutors. who had a meeting with the Americans in Vienna.

However, reports that Greek prosecutors allegedly refused to receive information from Greek prosecutors that led to Angela's resignation provoked anger from the Supreme Court advisor, who was reported to be saying in all directions: " I will not go to jail ".

His statement, which is also in the corridors of the Supreme Court, is seen as a manifestation of the prevailing climate and an indication of the problems and friction that have emerged for a long time in the context of the investigation into the death penalty. Novartis case.

No money was found for politicians

And while Novartis' research was at a critical juncture, and prosecutors were already realizing it under the control of their former supervisor, who had been replaced by Assistant Deputy Secretary Panayiotis Brakumatsos, research on politicians is proving difficult. and different approaches.

A source in the lawsuit said unequivocally that, for the moment, no money was found in the political accounts, whose names were involved in the case, their close relatives or their relatives.

However, the same source and others familiar with the ongoing investigations have stated that prosecutions may be initiated for corruption, based solely on the testimony of the witnesses and the documents in the file, stating that "the documents could be understood" . e-mails, mobile messages and handwritten notes ".

However, prosecutors said that shortly before the start of the election period, the case should be filed at least for a certain period, and not as a whole, because of the huge amount of documents on which an investigation is in progress.

According to information from relevant sources, the Office of the Prosecutor for the Fight Against Corruption will soon be established over a period from 2010 to 2012, or at most over a four-year period from 2009 to 2013. this period, only the exercises will be exercised. there should be archives, that is to say that some people should not badume responsibilities.

In any case, information from numerous judicial sources and from the Angeli report reveals instances of maladministration and conflicting opinions about the relevance of the prosecutor's office in the Novartis case, with senior prosecutors stating that " the prosecutors responsible for corruption are handling the case and are responsible ". Handling ".
