The head of the Anti-Money Laundering Authority, retired Deputy Prosecutor of the Supreme Court Charalambos Vourliotis, intervened immediately in the Cretan criminal organization case. Specifically, the independent authority proceeded to freeze the accounts and assets of all those involved in order to map the flow of illicit funds.

In this context, the Authority is examining all bank account transactions and real estate assets of the individuals under judicial investigation. According to sources, the Authority has already identified account movements abroad. If necessary, assistance from relevant foreign authorities may be requested.

Once the investigation is complete, any findings will be forwarded to judicial authorities to be considered alongside other evidence in the case. If indications of criminal activity emerge, the scope of offenses for those involved may be expanded.
