Prosecutor shelves Haikalis case

The case is thus considered closed. In his ruling, the prosecutor has deconstructed all of the Mp's allegations, further posing questions about Chaikalis' move to make the allegation public, in order to prevent the alleged middleman from offering his own recorded proof on the case.

On the contrary, the prosecutor leaves the investigation on the illegally obtained Chaikalis material open.

The prosecutor was not persuaded that the allegations were valid, because the place where the meeting was held, there was another recording device by the alleged middleman, which was discovered by Independent Greeks president Panos Kammenos and MP Chaikalis.

This fact creates doubts to the prosecutor, given that the two politicians did not approach the authorities as soon as the case was brought to their attention. Had they done so, the Prosecution and other police experts would have been able to cover the alleged meeting, record it and send it to due flagrant procedure.

Additionally, the prosecution was not aware of the identity of the alleged middleman at the time of the alleged meeting at the MP's house, and the name was revealed to them a couple of hours after the meeting, which allegedly didn't even take place in the end.

Is this the end of the alleged scandal which rocked the political establishment in the last four days? Probably not. In polarizing political times such as these, the allegation will probably be hanging on during the next two rounds of voting for the new president, regardless what the prosecutor has ruled.
