Parliament: Question of 6 ND MPs for the hearing of Touloupakis in the Anti-Corruption Committee of the European Parliament

The hearing of the Deputy Prosecutor of the Court of Appeals, Eleni Touloupaki, in the cross-party committee against Corruption of the European Parliament, became the subject of a parliamentary control by six members of the ND, who submitted a question to the Minister of Justice. The ND MPs, through their question, not only focus on Eleni Touloupaki and her hearing by the European Parliament committee, but also raise the issue of the status of protected witnesses and call on the Minister of Justice to inform them what legislative measures he intends to take. suggested.

The deputies Miltiadis Chrysomallis, Dionysios Aktypis, Dimitris Vartzopoulos, Stergios Giannakis, Xenophon Baraliakos and Konstantinos Vlasis who sign the question underline that:

“An acting prosecutor has made ‘political’ complaints before a political body, complaints which he has not been known to have made before the competent and independent judiciary, as provided for in the Constitution.”

“Ms. Touloupaki made unprecedented unsubstantiated allegations about the functioning of our democratic state, implying indirectly but clearly that the government and the parliamentary majority in Greece do not serve it.”

– “He allegedly asked the European Parliament to take” control “action against Greece”.

“She has concealed from the European Parliament that she is being prosecuted for serious, criminal charges, not by the government or the Parliament – as she falsely allegedly said – but by the Justice itself, after months of investigation by the Supreme Court.” .

“It ‘forgot’ to inform the European Parliament Group that it had filed the fabricated and fabricated accusations against seven of the ten politicians who fell victim to the ‘Novartis conspiracy'”.

– “‘Forgot’ to inform about the selective leaks he made to the media of confidential data of the case or procedural moves or testimonies of witnesses who saw the light of day before they happened (!)”.

“He ‘forgot’ to explain that he is being prosecuted, among other things, because he illegally anointed with the status of public interest witnesses the hooded false witnesses known in Greece for whom the legal conditions of the Criminal Code were not met or are not met.”

– “The specific false witnesses due to the acts and omissions of Ms. Touloupaki and their illegal characterization as witnesses of public interest, can not be prosecuted for what proven false testimonies they have testified, and in a world originality they are still protected by maintaining the of anonymity, at a time when their real face is known in Greece “.

– “Mrs. Touloupaki ‘forgot’ to inform, that she was the one who with the documents she submitted to the Parliament revealed that the alleged Aik. Kelesi is the former secretary of Mr. Frouzis, Mrs. Maria Marangeli, while Maximos Sarafis – “According to a few media reports – it is Mr. Filistor Destambasidis, a former employee of Novartis and involved in complaints against him.”

“Despite what Ms. Touloupaki falsely complained about Justice, Democracy and Government, she still enjoys unprecedented immunity, until absolutely nothing happens.”

With the above reasoning, the deputies of ND call on the Minister of Justice to inform the Parliament:

– whether the judiciary was aware of the summons and appearance of Mrs Touloupaki in a group of the European Parliament

– whether the above has fallen into new disciplinary misconduct and how the minister intends to exercise his relevant competence

– how the Greek government reacts to what the incumbent judicial official claimed was unprecedented

– how is it possible for Ms. Touloupaki, who is a defendant and even for such serious accusations, to exercise her duties unhindered and not to have been put on temporary leave as provided by law?

– how much longer will the hostage-taking of the slandered and acquitted politicians involved through the Novartis conspiracy by Ms. Touloupaki, as a member of the denounced and investigated gang, continue, and who can not take legal action against even today … protected hooded men false witnesses, in order to find their right

– how much longer will the legally, morally and politically unacceptable maintenance of a veil of protection of proven false witnesses continue and what legislative measures does the competent minister intend to propose to the Parliament.
