Even today, the Ministry of National Defense shows a strange reluctance to cooperate with the SDOE on the issue of submarines. Testifying yesterday to the preliminary examination committee of the Parliament on submarines, the director of the SDOE K. Papageorgiou and the auditor X. Athanasopoulos, according to the ND MPs, argued that since May 2010 – when the SDOE also started looking the case – the ministry’s services are constantly creating scum. Even the main contract – the witnesses claimed – the ministry sent it by mistake, as a result of which the Chamber reached the point of requesting judicial assistance in order to get it.
In any case, it seems that the director of the SDOE, K. Papageorgiou, described the submarine contract as “holed”. Especially regarding compensatory benefits, the heads of the SDOE emphasized that the entire process was carried out outside of the Presidential Decree and that for 230,000,000 euros given from 2000 onwards for projects, there are no execution documents. In simple words, the State gave 230,000,000 euros for projects it never received.
N.D. he focused on the fact that with the last law of Venizelos on the shipyards, which only PASOK and LAOS voted for, an amnesty was granted to all tax violations of both the shipyards and those who did related work until 9/30/2009. MPs of the ND they even asked the officials of the SDOE about the matter and they agreed that now not only can no fine be imposed, but not even an inspection.
The head of the N.D. in the committee, Miltiadis Varvitsiotis, stated that the SDOE is looking for all the persons who have been involved in the case, however those responsible stood in the name of Mr. Sbokos. According to the SDOE, information has arrived for the former general director of armaments that he bought a marina on an island, however the information is being checked, while the N.D. side. claimed that SDOE officials stated that the increase in assets was not justified by the incomes he declared in the “pothen esshes. Be that as it may, Mr. Sbokos has been summoned to testify tomorrow.
However, the opposition continued on the occasion of the statements of M. Bolaris about “bargaining” of witnesses in the case with party officials. Miltiadis Varvitsiotis clarified that the N.D. he will not tolerate similar games in the future, telling Mr. Bolaris that this leaves the impression of political overtones and not the search for truth.
