⛓️ Jailed

A judge ordered pre-trial detention for Filipos Kambouris, his wife, and three others accused of defrauding the EFKA social security fund. The investigation follows a pattern of recent probes into misappropriated state funds, including a fresh complaint to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office alleging that €52m intended for fisheries was spent on private villas and shops. The US Secretary of State’s visit to Athens concluded with a $4bn aid package and a list of requested armaments. While the meeting secured American support for an undersea power cable to Cyprus, it also arrived with a set of strategic expectations for the region; diplomacy rarely provides such a sum without them. An 89-year-old woman was found dead in Menidi with signs of a struggle, prompting a murder investigation. In Glyfada, schools remain closed due to a persistent odor that has defied identification; technicians ruled out a gas leak but found enough 'deviations' in local installations to keep the classrooms empty.
