[01] Appeals Court adjourns Vatopedi land swaps trial to March 23
ANA/MPA---The Criminal Appeals Court on Monday adjourned the trial for
the notorious Vatopedi Monastery land swaps affair to March 23.
The court adjourned the case so as to find a court room large enough for
the 13 persons accused in the case - one of those originally indicted
to trial passed away - among them Vatopedi Monastery Abbot Ephraim and
monk Arsenios.
The Greek state's legal representatives stated in court they would
attend the trial as part of civil action, since the state is claiming
the amount of 234 million euros. They said this amount relates to the
true value of the 76 property items that the Greek state swapped with
real estate in Vistonida lake, while in the indictment file their value
based on the contract prices is set at 69.4 million euros.
