A powerful storm, "Agneta," has caused significant damage across Greece, with Rhodes being particularly hard hit by widespread flooding. Cars were swept away, homes inundated, and schools closed in affected areas such as Archangelos and Afantou, prompting emergency 112 alerts. The fire service is actively engaged in rescue operations and pumping water in multiple locations, including Volos, Samos, and Kalymnos.
In other news, new details have surfaced regarding the 'Paidiki Xara' NGO fraud case, revealing a criminal organization that allegedly exploited sick children for millions. Investigations highlight a lack of financial oversight in online fundraisers, exposing the luxurious lifestyle of the NGO's leader and the scheme's operational methods, which included extortion.
Meanwhile, Michalis Bekiris, who recently stepped down as director of the prime minister's office in Parliament, is reportedly under investigation concerning his connections with family, friends, and godparents, as well as the use of public funds. Athens is also experiencing severe traffic congestion on major arteries like Kifisos, Kifisias, Mesogeion, and Attiki Odos.
