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.
Corruption prosecutors in Athens have ordered 15 people to appear as suspects in connection to the forged medical reports used by a convicted embezzler and another convict to secure their release from prison in 2018.
Aristides Floros, who was convicted to 21 years in prison in February 2017 for embezzlement, smuggling and money laundering over the Energa power company scandal, as well as to another 13 years in 2014 for ordering an assassination attempt against a lawyer, was released from Halkida Prison in early August 2018 after presenting judicial authorities with medical evidence that he suffered a disability.
Prosecutors later discovered the medical reports had been doctored and Floros was re-arrested and led back to prison.
He is one of the 15 suspects who will have to testify again before the prosecutors.
Judicial authorities believe the suspects may also be involved in the medical evidence that led to the release of another convict serving a life sentence for murder.
