Revolutionary Lawyer's Secret Stash

SDOE is scrutinizing the two after a careful examination of the so-called Lagarde List that shows funds sequestered at HSBC bank in Geneva by Greek citizens, revealed that Mr Ragousis had hidden 1.6 million euros at HSBC, and Ms Tsohatzopoulou 1.7 million euros.

Ms Tsohatzopoulou has already been found guilty of similar crimes and is serving time.

Mr Ragousis has excellent relations with members of Greek anti-establishment, and anarchist forces and has often defended such persons in court.

Recently he was called to deposition by first instance prosecutor Kalliopi Dagianda as a defendant in a case of instigating persons to criminal acts. In the specific case, MR Ragousis was questioned concerning a fax from his office circulating among prisoners characterizing the new maximum security prisons to house terrorists as “Guantanamo,” (a reference to Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay) and condemning government policy on the issue.

Mr Ragousis stated that he had no intention towards sedition, and his efforts were in the direction of defusing the situation by gathering signatures.
