Former minister and wife testify for money laundering of bribes

After their testimony date was postponed twice, they will go before examining magistrates to answer to charges of laundering 2.8 million Swiss francs from illegal activities. Specifically, Papantoniou is accused of having received the money in order to promote a particular company for a contract to upgrade six Type S Hellenic Navy frigates.
Papantoniou allegedly used a number of bank accounts to hide the money he received, through which he made hundreds of financial-sector transactions in order to make it virtually impossible to trace the money, while at the same time making the transactions appear legitimate.
Also accused in the same case is the civil engineer Andreas Bardis, who alleged assisted Papantoniou in covering his tracks through various accounts and real estate transactions.
