Former Finance Minister Giorgos Papakonstantinou and his relatives involved in the Lagarde list case concerning the handling of an electronic file with the names of Greeks with sizeable accounts at a Geneva bank appeared before the Judicial Council of the Special Court for additional clarifications.

According to sources, Papaconstantinou and his co-defendants requested themselves to appear before the Judicial Council so as to provide some clarifications on the case. However, they just reiterated what they have so far claimed, without adding anything new and said that they were not involved in the offenses they are accused of.

The former finance minister said that he was accused in purpose because he put Greece in the Memorandum.

The Judicial Council within the next month is expected to rule whether the accused should be indicted to the Special Court for their involvement in the case.

Papakonstantinou faces charges for breach of trust and document forgery and a misdemeanor charge for violation of duty.
