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.
A corruption prosecutor on Monday night questioned a doctor who appears to have orchestrated the release from prison last week of convicted embezzler Aristides Floros on the grounds of medical evidence that has been called into question.
The doctor at the capital’s Evangelismos Hospital is suspected of arranging it so that Floros, 39, would be given medical certificates claiming he suffered from seizures and had a disability of 67 percent, which was the lowest limit required to ensure his release from Halkida Prison in Evia on health grounds.
All of the medical documents came into question shortly after Floros’s release sparked a public outcry and were sent for re-examination to the Halkida council of appeals court judges by a Supreme Court prosecutor.
Late Friday, a doctor whose signature appeared on one of the certificates that allowed Floros to walk out of prison claimed it had been forged and denied any involvement in the case.
The case has now been put in the hands of a corruption prosecutor, who is responsible for probing the scope of the involvement of doctors at the state hospital in the case.
