The head of the GSEE, Giannis Panagopoulos, the former Secretary General for Labour Anna Stratinaki, and her husband, A. Georgiou—who is also implicated in the embezzlement case—appear to be facing new felony charges, as new evidence covering the period from 2020 to 2025 is being forwarded to prosecutorial authorities.
The Anti-Money Laundering Authority, in an additional audit concerning Giannis Panagopoulos, concluded that the head of the GSEE failed to declare amounts totaling €3.2 million, despite being required to submit asset declaration statements (“pothen esches”) as president of three centres and institutes for vocational training and education, which are under investigation for embezzlement.
According to information, the above amount concerns the period 2020–2025 and may once again render G. Panagopoulos a suspect, this time for filing an inaccurate asset declaration, a felony offense.
Anna Stratinaki also under scrutiny
At the same time, the independent Authority appears to have completed its audit regarding the former Secretary General for Labour and deputy head of the independent market supervision authority, Anna Stratinaki, with its findings also being forwarded to prosecutorial authorities.
Her assets were examined because her husband, acting as a representative of a training programmes company, is involved in the main embezzlement case as one of the 12 key individuals implicated.
According to information, Anna Stratinaki is alleged to have submitted inaccurate asset declarations for an amount totaling approximately €1.3 million. In addition, the asset declarations for the period 2023–2024 submitted by her husband, Andreas Georgiou, also appear to be incomplete, as—according to sources—an overall amount exceeding €700,000 does not appear in his declarations.
The couple is also expected to be investigated regarding the criminal aspect of filing a felony-level inaccurate declaration of financial status. At the same time, procedures are expected to begin for the recovery of these amounts by the Court of Audit for all three individuals.
