Election office break-in most likely staged

The Hellenic Police (ELAS) is casting doubt on the reported break-in at the election director's office of the Interior Ministry at noon on April 26, concluding that it was most likely staged given that no incriminating fingerprints or DNA were found at the scene of the supposed crime.

What's more, the investigation of the ministry's internal IRIS mail system did not find any signs of tampering on the computer of the director of elections on the day of the alleged incident.

Doubts were also raised by Interior Ministry officials who spoke to Kathimerini on the condition of anonymity. They noted that the employees at the 10 other offices on the same floor as the election director's did not notice anything unusual, while the employees of the private security company at the entrance did not record any suspicious movement either.

Police are now correlating the case...
