Government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis, responding to Stefanos Kasselakis, emphasizes that “instead of answering the substance of what the prosecutors are investigating very seriously, following the complaints of the former financial director of SYRIZA, he made a direct attack on the judiciary and the at the same time he reproduces the most vulgar version of the rhetoric of fake news and the toxic speech expressed by his party in recent years. We understand the difficult position he has found himself in, but if he thinks that by resorting to toxicity he will avoid answers, he is very mistaken.”
Earlier sources of the ruling party, responding to SYRIZA, underline that “there is no dichotomy. A SYRIZA law, which was passed in 2016, expressly provides that the leader of a parliamentary group represented in the national or the European Parliament cannot participate in a foreign company,” New Democracy sources point out.
New Democracy adds, in fact, that with his statements, Mr. Kasselakis confessed that he still owns shares of foreign companies, so all this time he has been violating the relevant legislation.
“Mr. Kasselakis on the one hand says that he is not sure if he has an obligation to submit a statement, because there is a dichotomy regarding the obligation: There is no dichotomy, the law is clear and whoever is the leader of a parliamentary group represented in the national or the European Parliament has an obligation not to participate in a foreign company, and indeed by the SYRIZA law of 2016.
Something that SYRIZA indirectly admits, when they state that it will transfer its shares. So, if the provision does not occupy him and there is no dichotomy, why would he transfer them? Therefore, Mr. Kasselakis admits once again that he still owns shares of foreign companies, so all this time he is violating the relevant legislation” note New Democracy sources and add: “What does the legislation provide for the incompatible actions of political figures in relation to their participation in companies: According to article 8 of Law 3213/2003 and under the title: “Prohibition of participation in a company based abroad for political persons, prohibitions of participation in companies based in non-cooperative tax states and states with preferential tax status”, it is defined that:
1. To the Prime Minister, to the Leaders of political parties represented in the National or European Parliament, as well as to those who receive state funding, to Ministers, Deputy Ministers and Deputy Ministers, MPs and MEPs and those who manage the finances of political parties as above, the General and Special Secretaries of the Parliament and the General Government, regional governors and Mayors are prohibited from participating in the management or capital of companies that have their real or statutory headquarters abroad, either in person or with substitute persons. … 3. In violation of paragraph 1, participation directly or through a proxy in a company, which has its headquarters abroad, is punishable by imprisonment of at least two (2) years and a fine from ten thousand (10,000) euros to five hundred thousand (500,000) euros ».
It is also noted that Law 5026/2023, which replaced almost entirely Law 3213/2003, expressly exempted from the repeal Article 8 of the latter, regarding the prohibition of the participation of political figures and particularly Party Leaders represented in Parliament in companies based abroad or non-cooperative tax states or states with a preferential tax regime, with the result that today the ban is still in full force” conclude ND sources.
Earlier, Stefanos Kasselakis with a video on Twitter, commenting on the prosecutor’s investigation against him, suggests that the Justice is moving quickly for his case, in contrast to the case of the Tempi tragedy.
“Send as many prosecutors as you want” writes the president of SYRIZA and concludes by saying that “as far as the country of impunity is concerned: Everything will change. From all of us who have clean hands, with the power of all of you who have clean foreheads.”
The Kasselakis post about the prosecutor’s investigation
The Greek Judiciary has the fastest reflexes in the world: When it undertakes to defend the Mitsotakis government against the European Parliament which clamors for the destruction of the rule of law in Greece.
When he undertakes to send home, instead of prison, rapist prime ministerial friends and ND executives who commit illegal acts.
When he takes it upon himself to target me for the loan I gave to my party so that the workers would not be unpaid during the holidays. From my US earnings, not bags from business people.
Greek Justice has the slowest reflexes in the world:
When he has to investigate crime, embezzlement and cover-up in Tempe.
When he has to investigate the Predator and the illegal surveillance of Maximus.
When he has to judge the cases of every ordinary citizen who is looking for his right without means and “backs”.
As far as I’m concerned: Send as many prosecutors as you want. Unlike the gigantic fortunes of those who rule us, my US income is all taxed. To the last dollar – to the last euro. As for the country of impunity: Everything will change. From all of us who have clean hands, with the power of all of you who have clean foreheads.”
