SYRIZA to take legal action against Kasselakis for alleged inaccurate wealth declarations

SYRIZA announced on Sunday that it will pursue legal action against former party president Stefanos Kasselakis, accusing him of submitting inaccurate wealth declarations.

This announcement follows the conclusion of the party's congress and Kasselakis' announcement of forming a new party on Saturday.

"The serious and unanswered questions regarding his wealth declaration and offshore companies make it clear that he should be investigated by relevant authorities," the statement read.

The legal action against Kasselakis is expected to be filed on Monday, following allegations by MP and leadership candidate Pavlos Polakis during the final meeting of the political secretariat.

Polakis accused Kasselakis of failing to disclose his involvement in offshore companies in 2023, a practice prohibited for the SYRIZA president according to the party charter.
