Kantas: Political figures were bribed too

He argued that the trafficking of money was done by the "black suitcase method" - Gave evidence for three new arms programs and three new persons who handed out money
 
Former deputy director of Defense Programs Antonis Kantas reportedly named in his plea today new faces that are likely to become accused of serious crimes such as money laundering.
 
The accused, who is currently in prison, in his third consecutive day of presetting his plea, reportedly named politicians as well, without presenting evidence for their involvement in trafficking black money by signing arms programs. He is expected to continue his plea on Monday.
 
As he reportedly argued, he believes it is very likely that as he was bribed, those who held hierarchically superior positions to his own, that is, the Minister, the arms director and committee members who approved the contracts in question, were bribed as well.
 
Antonis Kantas, in whose name the Greek authorities discovered 12 million dollars in Singapore, an amount he now intends to deposit in an account for the Greek State.
 
In his plea, the imprisoned former official of the Ministry of Defense spoke about certain individuals who were bribing in Greece also describing the ways the black money was handled, not only through financial institutions, but also with the "black suitcase method" so as not to leave any traces.
 

He also spoke about three new arms programs, for which he said bribes were traded and about three new faces that had bribed him for the selection of the specific programs.
 
Kantas’s plea will be assessed by the investigators who conduct the research on the TOR M1s and the German submarines, who will also consider whether these new faces will be prosecuted as well.
