Tax investigators have arrested 21 people linked to the Pizza Fan chain following an anonymous tip-off. The scheme reportedly involved illegal software to hide sales, unreceipted orders, and under-declaring staff hours to evade social security contributions. Economic police claim the operation, which allegedly held meetings in a VIP room in Marousi to distribute the proceeds, cost the state €25m. Diplomats are looking to Cairo to counter the maritime memorandum between Turkey and Libya. By discussing an expansion of the Exclusive Economic Zone with Egypt, Athens hopes to lock the Eastern Mediterranean against rival claims. It is a busy morning for regional diplomacy: communications have also opened with the Egyptian government to resolve the long-standing status of St. Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai. Wholesale electricity prices rose 14.8% in November, ensuring that the monthly debate over green tariffs will continue through the winter. Elsewhere, Dionysis Kalamatianos has resigned his seat in Parliament to join the police force, while a legal challenge over the so-called Fagan Fragment has complicated the return of the Parthenon Marbles. In Alexandroupoli, a 17-year-old died after falling from a bridge.
