Ship owner Martinos testifies in MPs' bribery allegations case

Ship owner Andreas Martinos on Wednesday, 29/10/2014, testified to prosecutor Panagiotis Panagiotopoulos handling the investigation of allegations that Greek MPs had been bribed to sway their vote in the upcoming presidential election.

Martinos was summoned to testify as the allegations on MPs’ bribery were reportedly made during the reception after his daughter's wedding with the son of businessman Socratis Kokkalis in September.

According to sources, the ship owner told the prosecutor that he had not been aware of such discussions and he reportedly called everything published on this issue "myths".

Kokkalis has been summoned to testify on the case in the coming days.
