After requesting and being granted time to prepare, Karras testified today regarding serious financial offenses, specifically money laundering in the context of tax evasion totaling approximately €13 million. The alleged offenses cover the period 2011–2020.

Following her testimony, Karras was released with the agreement of the investigating judge. However, she was subject to a travel ban and a €100,000 bail.

“The lady Karras, after a long investigative hearing, was released under restrictive conditions and bail. She answered all questions fully, and a vast number of documents have substantiated her responses in the investigative process without misinterpretation,” said her lawyer, Theodoros Mantas.
