An investigation has revealed a fraudulent charity that collected millions of euros from donors while passing only a fraction to children in need. Prominent figures were among those who donated to the scheme, which appears to have relied as much on prestige as on sympathy.
The 'Choriatiko' case has expanded to include allegations of police complicity. The owner of the bakery chain, who expanded his business into tourism despite prior accusations in 2008, was reportedly receiving information from law enforcement before his arrest. Authorities have since seized supercars, luxury watches, and €500,000 in cash.
The Hellenic National Meteorological Service has issued an emergency bulletin for a storm system named 'P' expected to bring flooding and hail. Separately, the office of politician Thanos Pleuris was attacked with Molotov cocktails in Kolonaki, and a 90-year-old man was arrested in Thessaloniki following the death of his wife.
