Tomorrow (Tuesday), at 10:00, the president of “Spartans” Vassilis Stigas is going to testify to the prosecutor of the Supreme Court Georgia Adilini, who will conduct a preliminary investigation regarding his statements in Parliament about “Greek Mafia and Don Corleone”.
It is recalled that the party president, last Thursday, August 31, during the debate in Parliament on the fires, said, among other things, in his speech, on the occasion of the absence of all his MPs from the benches: “The gentlemen who are missing today are led and driven by extra-parliamentary centres. I say this with the courage of my conviction. These centres are reminiscent of the Greek Mafia and Don Corleone.
Stigas said, among other things, this morning, on MEGA TV station, regarding his statements about the Greek Mafia: «When a man makes a statement on behalf of others and it is not so, he wants to impose himself in his own way. This way clearly resembles mafia.».
At the same time, the party chairman claimed that he could go it alone, while reiterated his support for Ilias Kasidiaris for the Municipality of Athens, stressing: “I support Kasidiaris for the Municipality of Athens, even though we have ideological and practical differences. This man supported me. In general, if he had not supported me, I and the Spartans would not have entered the Parliament. We have come full circle with Kasidiaris. He supported me, I supported him.”.
Stigas also stated that the brother of Ilias Kasidiaris is a temporary employee of an MP of the “Spartans”.
