Investigators are looking over the Papachristou list for kickbacks in armament programs

The amounts recorded in the list that was found and seized by investigators Sp. Georgoulis and Chr. Markou in his office of the already arrested Dimitris Papachristou, cause vertigo. The list includes all payments made from 1999 to 2007 for individuals and companies. It appears that the payments were made in cash and repos.
 
It also contains the names of the former Deputy Director of Armaments in the Ministry of Defense Anthonis Kantas and Spyridon Papachristou, son of the accused of money laundering and bribery Dimitris Papachristou. It includes new names as recipients of black money, which the two investigators might summon for explanations as defendants.

According to information Georgouleas and Markou have already summoned other defendants, including Wegmann vice president Olaf Esler, Spyros Papahristos and banker Fanis Lyginos, who according to the indictment, interceded so that part of the black money would reach Kantas through his bank accounts.

The latter testified yesterday Wednesday and answering on whether persons higher than himself in command of the Department of National Defence have been bribed, he reportedly replied: “I have no evidence but logic says that since I got bribed those above me were bribed too.”

Kantas was released after his plea for the affair with kickbacks from Wegmann, but returned to prison due to the case of submarines and the Russian air defense systems, Tor-m1.

According to information, Kantas admits that he received 750,000 euros from the German company. The representative of Wegmann is the also remanded D. Papahristos who reportedly had bribed Kantas.
