“Non-existent” until yesterday for the Greek state the NGOs revealed by the “Alkmini” operation

According to exclusive information from Liberal.gr, the NGOs involved in the “Alkmini” case did not even request their registration in the NGO Registry.

According to the same sources, the Lesbos case is not the only one in which executives of organizations accused of espionage and illegal trafficking of migrants, according to the case, had dressed in the mantle of humanity to serve the ends of others, putting at all danger to the population. country security. Much more so at this juncture, when the Erdogan regime is heavily instrumentalizing immigration to reinforce its neo-Ottoman revisionist agenda.

The controls of the competent authorities, after the multilevel collection of data during the first stage, are developed, in specific points of the Aegean Sea islands, but also in structures throughout the country that are in one way or another related to the migration and its results. they are expected to “come out in sequels.”

It is characteristic that executives from the security services, at the EYP level, Hellenic Police-Antiterrorism, Information Management Directorates, Criminological Investigations, participate in these surprise on-site inspections, with “command from above”, as the case may be. special services of the Coast Guard, but also high-level. employees of the National Transparency Authority, Financial Police Directorate, and SEPE inspectors.

Senior officials of the Ministry of Civil Protection remember with sense that the rigorous control of the profile of NGOs active mainly in the field of Immigration and the clear demarcation of their operational framework, were a declared priority, pre-electoral and post-electoral of K. Mitsotas and ministries .

Although, it is not just a coincidence that in the recent operation that saw the light, and not only, L. Oikonomou, current Deputy Minister of Civil Protection, former head of ELAS, has a central role, with a strong resume in the arrests of the zone. terrorism, being in an open line with both M. Chrysochoidis and the Maximos Palace.

Indicative of the criticality of the situation, but also of its extensions, is also the fact that, on the occasion of the “Alkmini” operation, Mr. Oikonomou, on the occasion of the “Alkmini” operation, said in all directions, even to external services, which among others espionage is one of the categories that will be addressed and will direct the people involved.

Because the national search and rescue planning does not foresee the participation of NGOs or other similar organizations. Directly linking the issue with the shielding of the Greek borders, which, as he has underlined, are also strengthened against espionage and attempts to intrusion our national security through the instrumentalization of immigrants.

In this regard, it is revealing, according to the Sunday Press (Kathimerini – Proto Thema) publications that the EYP carried out a secret operation on Turkish soil with illegal immigrants in the role of “agents” to reveal the activities of the four NGOs in Lesbos. As well as the fact, always according to the data that come to light, that the defendants, in addition to the use of internet platforms and applications, were watching the Coast Guard radio, with all that that entails.

But what should not be overlooked is an additional element: the action and… experience of NGOs involved in migrant search and rescue operations.

In other words, in an area where Turkey has been trying for years to challenge Greece’s Search and Rescue Zone of Responsibility, Greek sovereignty in the Aegean. With the “last” official case, the incident on August 26, in the middle of the Greek-Turkish crisis, west of Halki, when the Greek operational means, the Coast Guard and a helicopter of the Navy, were even harassed With a laser, by the Turkish Coast Guard, during a yacht rescue operation, in direct violation of the rules of the relevant operations, as well as the safety of life at sea.

The containers δο that communicate with the executives of the NGOs involved, as recorded in the corresponding file, are “obvious”: Frequent communications from the crew of the now-known ship with another NGO to exchange information on the migratory flows that have arrived or they will come from Turkey to the country (place of departure, migration time, age, sex and country of origin of the passengers on the ship). Maps with starting points of the migratory flows of the Turkish coast, identified mooring points. Publication and even on social networks, of the secret operational mission for the protection of the borders of activity of the Greek authorities. So potentially a risk to the interests of the country.

Along with actions such as the “Alkmini” operation in other Aegean islands, according to information from Liberal. gr ,, are in full operation of the competent security authorities, as well as those of the National Transparency Authority, the Directorate of Financial Police and the Directorate of Criminological Investigations in structures of the country, and even in structures for the accommodation of minors not accompanied. As, as everything shows, the “black holes” related to the security of the country, but also the mismanagement of European and national funds, “there are many”.

In this context, a “safari” of audits and “dusting” of dozens of NGOs is carried out. They even receive digital data on their financial and administrative operation, documents on hiring procedures, employee contracts and presentations, bank statements, bank statements. As well as data on the programs that they are supposed to implement and for which “enviable funds, mainly from European resources” enter their coffers.

At the same time, the Ministry of Immigration and Asylum, faced with the problems caused by the functioning of the Greek State and the lack of personnel from the competent services, continues to strive to separate the wheat from the chaff and accelerate the completion of the corresponding Register of NGO. it was established in February, in an effort to plug the “black hole” in which, almost uncontrollably, specific organizations operated during the SYRIZAANEL term of office.

It is characteristic, according to exclusive information from Liberal.gr, that until today, only one Organization has been certified, with an official decision. This is “The smile of the child”. So far, 114 NGOs have submitted their supporting documents (and this with deficiencies in the integrity of the file, sending some of the required documents even by email, etc.), while 75 NGOs have initially registered. Of these, only 20 NGOs appear to meet the established criteria, having submitted a complete file with the required documents. Of course, this does not mean, under the strict new framework, that the file that has been submitted is automatically accepted by the authorities and, therefore, legal action is initiated.

It is recalled that until the adoption of the relevant legislation, 86 NGOs were registered in the pre-existing Registry. “Certified” but without real control, as YMA executives say, scolding SYRIZAANEL’s policy, since, in fact, no one knew how many, where and under what conditions they operated. Without having VAT, AMKA, to keep tax books, to present employment contracts or service contracts, to go through certified public accountants, to file criminal records for its members, paid associates or volunteers, etc. , are a prerequisite.

At the same time, the Ministry of Immigration and Asylum is trying to regain the administration of reception structures by international organizations and NGOs, a key character change as, as Liberal and “Phileleftheros” have repeatedly written, the administration, until the date, in most cases, was not exercised by the State, with all that this implies for the situation within the KYT, but also for the handling of the corresponding funds, as has been repeatedly denounced. Without omitting the effects caused by the fact that in the structures “whoever wanted to enter and leave, declaring themselves a member of an NGO”
