Don Corleone

The leader of the far-right Spartiates (Spartans), Vasilis Stigas, decided on Tuesday to retract his expulsion of three members of the party's parliamentary group, just a few hours before appearing at the prosecutor's office of the Supreme Court for alleging they were under the influence of "outside centers" and employing "Greek mafia and Don Corleone" practices.

The far-right Spartiates (Spartans) party appears to be on course for dissolution after the fallout triggered by the accusations leveled by its president, Vassilis Stigas, at three of his deputies of being under the influence of "outside centers," and employing "Greek mafia and Don Corleone" practices.

By "outside centers" he meant jailed neo-Nazi Ilias Kasidiaris.

Supreme Court  Prosecutor Georgia Adeilini has initiated an investigation into controversial statements made by the leader of the far-right Spartiates (Spartans), Vassilis Stigas, who last week accused three of his party's MPs of being under the influence of "outside centers," drawing parallels with "the Greek mafia and Don Corleone."

Opposition party Spartiates leader Vassilis Stigas lashed out at his MPs who did not attend parliament at Thursday's debate on the wildfires, expelling three of them.

Gangster “Boss of bosses” Toto Riina, who has died at the age of 87 according to Italian media reports, was one of the most violent and feared Godfathers in the history of the Sicilian Mafia.
