Ιnvestigation into the case of Chaikalis' alleged bribery

Police are investigating Independent Greeks MP Pavlos Chaikalis' attempted bribery case.

According to police sources, a week ago the Appeals Prosecutor ordered Attica police to launch a preliminary investigation in relation to the attempted bribery of deputy Pavlos Chaikalis. The deputy has been called to testify twice and, according to the same sources, has revealed the name of the person that attempted to bribe him. The same sources said that in cooperation with police he had arranged to meet with the suspect but he did not appear.

Police officials said that at the moment they do not have the visual and audio material that the deputy submitted to the prosecution because the prosecution did not sent it to them along with the preliminary examination order.

The prosecution is alleged to have sent directly the video tape to the Criminal Investigation service.

However, police said that the collected evidence so far is not enough to proceed to an arrest and the investigation continues.
