[01] Supreme Court prosecutor says former FinMin should be sent to
Special Court
Supreme Court (Areios Paghos) prosecutor Anastassios Kanellopoulos
submitted a six-page report to the judicial committee of the Special
Court asking that former Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou be
tried by that court, as the crimes attributed to him are still valid.
Kanellopoulos said that Papaconstantinou should be charged for document
falsification and dereliction of duty among other things because the
time period that gives Parliament the right to prosecute him has not
expired yet.
Papaconstantinou's case was referred to the Supreme Court for review of
its technical aspect, to determine whether it falls under a regulation
stipulating that if no action is taken over two consecutive sessions of
Parliament criminal liability is written off permanently. The former
minister's case revolves aroung the so-called Lagarde list, and of his
possible involvement in allegedly aiding tax evasion by Greek nationals
with large bank deposits abroad. Early on July 16, Parliament voted to
indict him on for three offences, two felonies and one misdemeanour,
in connection the list.
