Giorgos Karatzaferis

Leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday accused New Democracy opposition of "pursuing a far-right agenda" by seeking to connect the ongoing refugee crisis with the threat of terrorism.

The leader of the right-wing LAOS party, Giorgos Karatzaferis, was indicted on Thursday on charges of making inaccurate declarations of assets (?pothen esches?) for three years and for involvement in an offshore firm, which is prohibited for politicians.

It seem unlikely that the leader of the ultranationalist Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) party, Giorgos Karatzaferis, will face bribery charges after it was revealed that two middlemen in an arms deal paid 1.6 million euros to his offshore company, sources have told Kathimerini.

An investigation by a parliamentary committee into the “pothen esches” (declaration of source of wealth) forms submitted by the leader of the right-wing LAOS party, Giorgos Karatzaferis, which is expected to be completed by Wednesday, points toward the existence of millions of dollars in foreign-based bank accounts, sources indicated on Monday.
