Financial crimes operation in Attica: eight arrested for €5m e-EFKA fraud
A large-scale police operation by the Economic Crime Prosecution Unit of Greece's financial crimes authority (ΔΑΟΕ) is underway in areas of Attica, targeting the dismantling of a criminal organisation allegedly committing fraud against e-EFKA and tax evasion. According to Ethnos, the total damage is estimated at approximately €5 million.
To date, eight members of the organisation have been arrested, including, according to available information, the leadership figures. Philippos Kampouris, leader of the LAOS party, is reported to have played a central role, along with his wife.
The organisation's composition included, among others, accountants, businesspeople and shell-company operators. The operation remains ongoing and a further update is expected from the Greek Police.
