On October 26, the Anti-Money Laundering Authority ordered the freezing of the accused persons' assets in both cases. The order reportedly covers property, bank accounts and safe-deposit boxes, while excluding accounts used to pay employees' wages. #Greece
Two major tax-fraud investigations in #Greece in days. Authorities estimate alleged tax losses exceeding €35m in the Pizza Fan case, involving a suspected scheme to conceal cash sales. In a separate bakery-chain probe, the alleged fraud is estimated at nearly €100m.

A U.S.-based nurse visiting Athens’ National & Kapodistrian University was struck by the run-down building and graffiti-covered walls. Learning that Greek public universities charge no tuition for undergrads, she was surprised by the apparent lack of respect for the facilities.

«Οι αγανακτισμένοι κάτοικοι των Αχαρνών ζητούν δημοτική αστυνομία και ουσιαστικές περιπολίες, τονίζοντας πως δεν γίνεται ο Δήμος να αποκαθιστά ξανά και ξανά τις ζημιές, με τα χρήματα των δημοτών».

Wait a sec, the women claiming “we have nothing to lose” is clearly the privileged wealthy one who won’t be affected economically, It’s always clear that rioting is carried out by the privileged against businesses and people who work It’s basically a war against people who work for a living and have families and pay taxes and are law abiding Sometimes the state will side with rioters against the working people because the state wants internal war to distract from its failures
🔥 QUELLE LEÇON MAGISTRALE infligée à Lola, étudiante et militante d’extrême gauche, qui tente de justifier les pillages et les saccages des commerces ! 🗣️ « Vous vous rendez pas compte de la chance que vous avez. Vous avez des choses à perdre. Les gens qui sont dans ces manifestations, nous, nous n’avons rien à perdre. » Avant d’ajouter, avec un mépris sidérant : « Vos boutiques, c’est bien mignon, super, OK, les Foot Locker qui ont été pillés, mais en fait il y a une réalité, une vraie souffrance des Français. » 💥 La réponse bouleversante d’une entrepreneuse, arrivée en France à seulement 9 ans après avoir quitté la République démocratique du Congo, qui emploie aujourd’hui régulièrement 130 personnes : 🗣️ « Quand je suis arrivée ici, j’avais le choix, d’accord, de subir une situation ou de me relever. » Et de lui répondre avec une émotion immense : « Vous êtes en train de me parler de la misère, vous êtes en train de me dire : Je pleure parce que ma vitrine est cassée, mais c’est ma vie, Lola. C’est ma vie. J’ai des enfants. » « Moi, j’ai des salariés qui sont terrorisés. Quelle réponse leur apporter ? » D’un côté, une militante qui invoque la souffrance sociale pour relativiser les pillages. De l’autre, une femme qui a quitté son pays, construit son entreprise, créé des emplois et voit le fruit de son travail détruit. La détresse sociale ne donne aucun droit de piller, de saccager ou de détruire le travail des autres. Une véritable leçon de courage, de dignité et de responsabilité. 🇫🇷 #LaGrandeConfrontation #LCI

Six people - 5 men and 1 woman - died after a speedboat carrying migrants capsized 3.7 north of #Samos on Monday. Fourteen men were rescued. Samos lies just across a narrow stretch of sea from Turkey, with the two coastlines separated by about 1.6 km at their closest point.
Six people, incl. an infant, died after a speedboat carrying migrants collided with a Greek CG patrol vessel off Lesbos, authorities said. Eight people were rescued and taken to hospital. A Turkish national, suspected of piloting the boat and smuggling migrants, was arrested.

“You’re not acting like a NATO ally when you take F-16s and fly over somebody else’s country. You’re not much of an ally when you occupy a portion of another country’s land. And that’s what they’re doing,” Florida senator Scott said of Turkey. abcnews.com/amp/Internationa…
America wants our allies in the Mediterranean and Middle East to be STRONG so they can deter threats. A reunified Cyprus makes it easier to do business in the region and counters Putin and Erdogan’s aggression. Erdogan and his thugs need to support their NATO obligations and stop undermining Cyprus by supporting Hamas terrorists and aligning with the Muslim Brotherhood.   Because one thing is for sure — America’s enemies chose to hate us, and they need to understand the we won’t let threats to our interests go unanswered.
