[01] PM Samaras files lawsuit against Chaikalis
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras filed a lawsuit in connection with the
comments made by Independent Greeks' (ANEL) MP Pavlos Chaikalis during
the main newscast on private TV station Mega.
"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."
