Justice Minister Stavros Kontonis on Tuesday forwarded case files investigating former prime minister Antonis Samaras, as well as Greece's current governor of the Bank of Greece, Yannis Stournaras, and the Independent Greeks (ANEL) MP Athanasios Papachristopoulos to Parliament, so that it can decide whether the prosecution should proceed.

Main opposition New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras faced off against critics and challengers within the party on Thursday, during a stormy session of ND's Parliamentary group, amid calls for his resignation and an emergency congress to "refound" the party.
