In Greece The “Tentacles” In Public Services And The Routes Of The Money

The police and local government employees, who were put on holiday, employees of the Ministry of Culture , including an architect-engineer, also played a role in the circuit, as reported by George V Magazine.

From the examination of the telephone communications of the 14 arrested, it appears that employees from public services, as well as from the New Monuments service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs , had been recruited as members of the ring.

The mode of action of the circuit – The role of the 43-year-old

Among those arrested is a 43-year-old woman who was allegedly a leading member of the criminal organization, ordering, guiding and supervising its other members.

The “leader” undertook the licensing process for health shops and managed subsequent issues that arose with them, such as confirmations of violations from public services, the change of ownership status or VAT number due to multiple violations and other issues related to the operation of stores, hotels and under construction of buildings.

The money was usually collected by the 43-year-old’s brother, who then hid it in a relative’s house.

Transactions lasted a few seconds and took place either outdoors, so they looked like random encounters, or indoors where it would be impossible for anyone to see them.
