The Council of Appeals Court has decided to begin a new examination on ELSTAT chief Andreas Georgiou, over claims that he inflated Greek public deficit in 2009, in order to receive international aid, according to reports.

According to ELSTAT, the national statistics agency, the percentage of Greeks living below the poverty line (meaning with incomes less than 60% of the average national disposable income) came to 34.6%, or 3,795,100 people.

According to a Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research report released today that includes ELSTAT figures, Greece is the 4th nation out of the 28 EU members, that held the largest amount of citizens that survive below or on the poverty line in 2013.
