Remand for Pizza Fan owner in tax evasion case
The owner of the Pizza Fan catering chain has been remanded in custody following the completion of his testimony, according to Newsbeast. He is attributed with the leadership role in a criminal organisation involved in a tax evasion case.
His close associate and co-accused, allegedly serving as the organisation's deputy leader, faces a lighter measure: by joint decision of the examining magistrate and prosecutor, he has been placed under house arrest with an electronic monitoring device.
Six other defendants, having testified, were released with restrictive conditions. In some cases, a bail bond of up to 6,000 euros was also imposed.
The testimonies of the remaining five defendants were ongoing and were expected to be completed in the early morning hours.
During his testimony, the Pizza Fan owner denied the charges against him. He also stated his willingness to immediately satisfy any claims by the Greek state without awaiting the delivery of a final court ruling.
