The Supreme Court prosecutor, Georgia Adelini, has issued [1],[2] indictments against 11 members of the “Spartans” party, including imprisoned Ilias Kasidiaris, for voter fraud. Notably, Vasilios Stigas, the head of the Spartans, is conspicuously absent from the list of those targeted for prosecution.
The prosecutor, following public revelations made by Spartans’ leader Vassilios Stigas regarding illicit activities within the party, initiated an investigation. Subsequently, she ordered the Director of the Athens Primary Prosecutor’s Office to proceed with criminal prosecution for voter fraud.
Stigas had made public allegations regarding illegal activities within his party, with references to “Greek Mafia” and “Don Corleone” that implicated Ilias Kasidiaris.
Specifically, the order targets 11 individuals and Kasidiaris, who is prosecuted as the mastermind behind voter fraud. Per the prosecutor’s investigation, Kasidiaris emerged as the party’s de facto leader, orchestrating, guiding, and significantly influencing the decision to participate in the election and the subsequent election of its MPs.
Evidence from the prosecutor’s investigation strongly substantiates Kasidiaris’s clandestine leadership within the Spartans. It reveals his continuous communication from prison with the party’s parliamentary candidates and his presumed provision of guidance and political backing, in violation of laws prohibiting such actions for individuals with convictions associated with a criminal organization, including other inmates affiliated with Golden Dawn.
