[01] PM Samaras files lawsuit against Chaikalis

"It is absolute slander and wretchedness at their highest. The prime minister is immediately filing a lawsuit and requests the intervention of the prosecuting authorities," a press release from the prime minister's office announced on Friday night.

Appeals Court prosecutor Panagiotis Panagiotopoulos has called Giorgos Apostolopoulos to testify on Saturday as suspect in Independent Greeks MP Pavlos Chaikalis' attempted bribery case.

On Friday Giorgos Apostolopoulos, the man who Independent Greeks (ANEL) MP Pavlos Chaikalis accused of attempting to bribe him to secure his vote in favour of the government's presidential candidate said he is surprised and angry at the allegations.

"I watch with surprise and anger as the media implicate me in political vendettas, motivated by fraudulent party interests. This is a theatrical police scenario starring an experienced comic actor and director and a frantic showman political leader," Apostolopoulous said in a written statement published on news website tovima.gr.

"I just want to remind to conspirators the saying, 'there's no surer enemy than the one you've benefited.' I'm available to judicial authorities for the restoration of truth and reality. Everything will be revealed, without editing, stitching and machinations."
