Tsohatzopoulos Addicted to Crime Says Prosecutor
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The guilty verdict for 12 of the 19 defendants in the Tsohatzopoulos case was demanded today, by criminal tribunal prosecutor Georgia Adilini.
More specifically she demanded that the court find guilty former minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos, his wife Vicky Stamati, His daughter Areti, his erstwhile associate, and foormer secretary general for military procurements Yannis Sbokos, as well as for five more defendants (including Tsohatzopoulos' ex-wife Gudrun) but without the charges of continuous misdeeds. The prosecutor asked that two defendants be found not guilty.
Ms Adilini fiercely attacked the former minister in her closing statement, saying that he ignored those that trusted him. She also spoke of overwhelming evidence of his accepting bribes to such an extent that he himself was unable to calculate their sum.
The second prosecutor in the case, Panayotis Panayiotopoulos, said Tsohatzopoulos was addicted to crime.
