- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The translation of the crucial material for the OTE-Siemens trial was completed on May 13, Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias said late on Tuesday in statements to public broadcaster ERT.
"The translation was completed on May 13 and not end June as initially planned, that is two months earlier," he underlined.
Earlier, the ministry said that reports claiming the trial of the suspects in the OTE-Siemens scandal was postponed for an indefinite period on Tuesday because crucial material had not been translated for the foreign defendants are “false and unsubstantiated."
"Despite its work overload, the foreign ministry’s Translating Service completed in time the massive, 1,580-page translation and promptly delivered the relevant decree to the Appeals Prosecution. Specifically, the first 700 translated pages were delivered on 02.11.2015 and the remaining 880 pages, on 13.05.2016,” the foreign ministry said.
