Scandal: Shipowner Kriton Lentoudis managed to “cut” loans by 110 million.

Shipowner Kriton Lentoudis, owner of Evalend Shipping, is not well known to the general public. In other words, Kriton Lentoudis is completely unknown to people who struggle to survive, to pay their debts normally, to pay off their loans, to beg for any regulation of the banks.

In secular circles, however, where the $ 4,000 bottle of Cristal champagne flows abundantly, the ship’s owner is known for his gallantry.

In the circles of the rich who collect very expensive and rare cars, Kriton Lentoudis is famous for his.

This is because you can buy cars that most people cannot even have in their wildest dreams.

It is characteristic that, as those who know the owner of the shipping company say, the value of the unique collection of almost 50 cars, exceeds 15 million euros. In fact, some time ago, Lentoudis did not hesitate to withdraw more than 2 million from his coffers to buy a single car.

Party, money and “haircuts”

He proves to be very intelligent (this means the name of Kriton after all) since he manages to have a great fortune, but at the same time be debtor of many millions of euros to the banks and achieve haircuts that would be envied by all the people who must.

Unlike Plato’s hero, Crito, who talks to Socrates, three days before the death of the great philosopher Lentoudis … he constantly thinks of the great secular parties organized by him and his friends on the islands.

With ethereal beings, unique shows, incredible luxury and guests of many well-known names in the shipping circle and the world of entertainment.

This successful shipowner, who is concluding multi-million dollar deals to buy new ships and recently commissioned a $ 92 million tanker, has achieved another success.

Being one of those rich Greeks who manages to convince the banks that … he does not have to pay the fees and that is why his loan “blushes”. Then, for a strange reason, it managed to achieve a cut of 110 million euros, citing insolvency.

Through labyrinthine procedures, surrogate companies, and evidently a persuasion capable of “kicking out” the Greek bankers to whom he owes, he achieved the “miracle.”

And all this while hundreds of thousands of borrowers are anxious to lose their homes for the foreign funds that bought their loans.

People are drowning, Lentoudis is cutting his hair

As soon as an installment or two is late, the downsides of “special” loan management companies begin immediately. Even for a debt of 50 and 100 euros, the telephones begin, the threats and the pressures on people, in the vast majority of which they struggle to be consistent.

And at the same time that all the governments in recent years are publicizing the relentless persecution of “strategic” defaulters, that is, “thugs”, some banks are contributing to the crime of canceling debts to wealthy entrepreneurs and shipowners.

This excellent arrangement achieved by Kriton Lentoudis, is not the only one since others have managed to cut loans that do not pay despite having the funds to do so.

However, Lentoudi’s case is beyond logic. At the same time that he deals with the banks to pay off his loans, he announces the purchase of an unreal car.

Amazing cars

Few people know that in Lentoudis’ luxurious and specially designed garage in his very expensive villa in the northern suburbs, there is a McLaren Senna. An amazing supercar, one of the 500 McLaren Senna that were built and cost close to 1 million euros. The latest production was even priced at auction at around 2.2 million euros,

Lentoudis, as a world-renowned car collector, couldn’t miss the opportunity.

A Bugatti Veyron valued at 1,277,000 euros is rumored to have been resting in the owner’s garage for some years now. It is the fastest commercial production car in the world with a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour.

The owner also owns a Ferrari F-40 that was built for his son Anielli and is the only one in the world without a clutch.

It owns ten different Lamborghini models, while it also has Porsche, BMW and Mercedes models.

In fact, participate in contests. In 2017, Kriton Lentoudis took part in the first Hungaroring Classic historic car race and managed to win the very demanding class by driving a Mercedes-Benz C11 that was previously used by Michael Schumacher for testing.

In 2013, Lentoudis stole the show at a car race and won first prize in a 1973 Lamborghini Miura SV.

So this expensive car collector, owner of a shipping company, is said to own more than 40 ships.

The Kritonas Lentoudis shipping company concluded in 2019 a gigantic agreement, for an amount of 286 million dollars with the Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries shipyards of the Huyndai Heavy Industries group. The agreement refers to the construction of two crude oil transport tankers, VLCC, with a capacity of 300,000 dwt, with the option of a third party.

Of course, it also had its misfortunes since, according to reports at the time, in 2017 the Libyan authorities proceeded with the suspension of a tanker.

According to the Libyan English newspaper, the Libya Herald was the Liberian-flagged Levante oil tanker (capacity 19,996 dwt and built in 2008), owned by the Evalend Shipping shipping company, run by the Greek shipowner Kriton Lent.

How, then, is it possible to do such business, buy the most expensive cars in the world, have a personal fortune of hundreds of millions of euros and at the same time demand a loan cut of 110 million euros?

It is certainly a business “miracle” at a time when the debate on first home auctions is opening up. At a time when foreign “crows” have definitively entered the Greek market and have put the knife to the throat of ordinary borrowers or small businessmen trying to save their jobs, these agreements come to provoke public opinion.
