Andreas Patsis

Former New Democracy lawmaker Andreas Patsis was sentenced on Tuesday to three years in prison, convertible to a fine of 10 euros per day, for submitting inaccurate wealth declarations.

The sentence was reached following negotiations between Patsis and the prosecutor.

Former New Democracy lawmaker Andreas Patsis is seeking a compromise in a trial where he was indicted, along with his former and current wife, over inaccurate wealth declarations from 2019 through 2022, and his involvement in a foreign company.

The saga that started with the former (resigned a day ago) New Democracy MP Andreas Patsis as the protagonist, is expected to rivet public interest in the coming days.

The jump in inflation compared to last year has brought significant changes in the behavior of Greek consumers.

The Greek Parliament voted unanimously to lift the immunity of two lawmakers who are being investigated for seperate possible offences.

As the trial into the killing of 22-year-old American tourist Bakari Henderson on the Greek holiday island of Zakynthos last summer begun in the western port city of Patra on Friday, his parents Phil and Jill Henderson expressed hope that key witnesses will be able to testify as soon as possible.

The parents of Bakari Henderson, the young American beaten to death in Greece, Jill and Phil spoke to Proto Thema about their ordeal and thank the Greek community and authorities for the support they showed. The 22-year-old died last month on the island of Zakynthos after a mob chased him out of a bar and surrounded him on the street.
