The Hellenic Anti-Money Laundering Authority has identified cash deposits totalling €1,287,155 over a period of less than two years, as part of a further investigation into the Pizza Fan case.

The amount is set out in a new nine-page asset-freezing order, numbered 72/2026 and dated 9 November 2026, signed by the Authority’s president, Honorary Deputy Prosecutor of the Supreme Court Charalambos Vourliotis.

According to the document, the Authority’s further investigation established that cash deposits totalling €1,287,155 were made into the bank accounts of the company “FANATICS PIZZA SERVICES AND RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT LTD” between 1 January 2025 and 20 October 2026. This finding is one of the elements included in the new order, under which the Authority is proceeding with the freezing of assets belonging to nine individuals and two companies named in the relevant case file.

At the same time, five properties have been identified for freezing, while the total proceeds of crime allegedly obtained by those involved through the activities under investigation are estimated, on the basis of the police investigation, to amount to at least €35 million.

The nine individuals and two companies

The order names nine individuals against whom a case file has been compiled, as well as two legal entities linked to the case.

These are the company “FANATICS PIZZA SERVICES AND RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT LTD” and the foreign company “FANATICS PIZZA DELIVERIES AND FOOD SERVICES LIMITED”, which, according to the document, operates exclusively outside Greece. The offences under investigation include, among others, forming a criminal organisation, tax evasion, fraud against the Greek State and money laundering.

The Authority points out that the investigation uncovered serious indications that funds allegedly derived from illegal activities were used both to finance business operations and to acquire real estate.

The five properties being frozen

Particular attention is drawn to the section of the order concerning the real estate owned by the individuals under investigation. Specifically, five properties in Attica have been identified for inclusion among the assets being frozen. They comprise an apartment in Kifissia, a holiday home in the Lavreotiki area, an apartment with a parking space in Zefyri, and an apartment and a storage unit in Ilion.

According to the order, the first two properties belong to Konstantinos Antaras, the third to D.R. and the final two to A.R.

The reasoning set out in the order also describes the alleged mechanism used to conceal income, which had already come to light during the investigation into the case. According to the findings of the competent authorities, the alleged interference took place within the electronic system used to receive orders and issue receipts, through special software configuration.

The “treat – receipt” option allegedly made it possible to avoid issuing tax receipts for orders that had been properly prepared and delivered to customers. In this way, according to the case file, revenue from the outlets’ actual sales was concealed, resulting in the failure to pay the corresponding taxes.

At the same time, those involved allegedly submitted false declarations concerning staff employment in order to avoid paying social security contributions.

Under order 72/2026, the freezing of bank accounts, securities, investment assets and financial products belonging to the individuals and legal entities named in the document has been ordered, up to the amount of the estimated proceeds of crime.

However, specific exemptions have been provided for to ensure that the measure does not prevent the meeting of basic living needs or disrupt business operations. In particular, subject to certain conditions, exemptions apply to funds intended for employee payroll, supplier payments, tax and social security liabilities, as well as other essential operating expenses.
