NOTICE-UPDATE Εκathimerini.com, complying with the general principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Law 4624/2019, and taking into account the principles of proportionality and data accuracy, as well as the extrajudicial complaint submitted by Mr. Aristidis Floros on 23.07.2024, who provided additional details to support his request, informs its readers that, pursuant to Supreme Court of Greece Decision No. 575/2024, which adjudicated the case according to Articles 528-529 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, all individuals involved and accused in the Energa-Hellas Power case, including Mr. Aristidis Floros, have been declared innocent of the charges brought against them for the acts of embezzlement, smuggling, and money laundering committed jointly and repeatedly.
Aristides Floros, the convicted former managing director of power supplier Energa, has reportedly been arrested following his release from prison on the grounds of medical evidence that appears to be of dubious authenticity.
Floros was released from Halkida Prison last week after presenting judicial authorities with medical evidence that he suffered a disability.
That evidence, however, has come into question and a doctor whose signature appears on one of the certificates explaining why Floros allegedly suffered from seizures claimed on Friday that it had been forged.
Earlier on Friday, a Supreme Court prosecutor had sent an order to judicial authorities in Halkida to re-examine the entire file that led to Floros’s release after she deemed the medical evidence to be vague and unsubstantiated.
According to reports late on Friday, he was remanded in custody at his home in the southern Athens suburb of Glyfada. Skai reported that a warrant is to be issued for his arrest as a fugitive.
