Athens Misdemeanors Appeal Court
Former statistics chief convicted of one count of breach of duty
The Athens Misdemeanors Appeal Court on Tuesday handed a two-year sentence, suspended for three years, to the former chief of Greece's statistical service, ELSTAT.
Andreas Georgiou was found guilty on one of three counts of breach of duty for taking the decision to revise Greece's 2009 deficit figures without consulting with ELSTAT's other board members.
Prosecutor recommends conviction of ex-ELSTAT chief
An Athens prosecutor recommended Monday that Greece's former statistics chief, Andreas Georgiou, be convicted for breach of duty for not relinquishing the post he held at the International Monetary Fund while heading the statistics agency (ELSTAT) between August and November in 2010.
