“It was only 2 months that I was selected in the prosecutor’s office. At the same time, it was mentioned in the attached document that the activity deviates to the limit of individual facts, provokes public sentiment, endangers public order and security internal country ”, he recalls.
“I was fully aware when I received the document of responsibility and the risks I was facing. The people we were investigating were elected deputies, so there were many dangers. “You had to do surgery, you had to be even more careful,” he said.
“I had to think. And the prosecutors think and decide for themselves, unlike the judges.” I had to collect all the files, study them personally to have a personal opinion on whether they are really packaged and what crime I am going to investigate by ordering an examination preliminary, ”he said.
He went on to say that “the prosecutors were ordered to archive the cases as soon as possible.

I chose the prosecutor Charalambos Vourliotis, I had modesty and courage.
“We did the work, we had no contact with anyone, we closed our ears and we dedicated ourselves to the investigation seriously. Every night I was at the AP prosecutor’s office and all the evidence was collected and Mr. Vourliotis reminded me.
“They found us at dawn in the prosecution and we went out the back door so they wouldn’t see us. Within a week, 10 days, after the preliminary examination was completed, Mr. Vourliotis produced a report according to which there is sufficient evidence for the establishment of a criminal organization, violations of the law on weapons and possession of weapons.
After reading your report, I agreed with your opinion and ordered you to take legal action. He transmitted the order to the Prosecutor of the Court of First Instance.
