SYRIZA spokesman Skourletis testifies in MPs’ alleged briberies case

“Justice must be allowed to be free and do its work without interventions,” Mr. Skourletis stressed.

Main opposition SYRIZA spokesman Panos Skourletis visited on Thursday the Appeals Prosecutor Panagiotis Panagiotopoulos’ office in order to testify over the case of MPs’ alleged briberies.

Exiting the office Mr. Skourletis underlined that “the government’s efforts to reverse reality are a conscious attempt to conceal the fiasco of the country’s so-called exit from the memorandum” and added that “justice must be allowed to be free and do its work without interventions.”

Panos Skourletis had been called to testify in the context of an investigation into MPs’ bribery allegations regarding the election of a President of Republic. The head of SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras’ office Nikos Pappas will testify later in the day.
