Intersport

– Hello there, just a few words – unfortunately necessary – about the political disgrace we are witnessing, stemming from a profoundly tragic story that made the headlines (how many others don’t…) about the police officer and his wife who were sexually abusing their children.

Retail group Fourlis was hit by a ransomware attack last month, affecting the operations of the Group's companies in Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular IKEA and Intersport.

According to a statement from the Group, the technical problem was noticed on November 27 and was found to be due to "malicious external action."

The commercial property market is bracing for recessionary phenomena in the coming months that will be reminiscent of the 2012-13 slump, as chains and stores are struggling to stay afloat.

Greek retailer Fourlis Group sought to reassure investors over its operations in Turkey, following the recent devaluation of the Turkish lira, saying the problems in the country's economy "do not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements" of the company.
