Parliament does not consider itself suitable to examine a case of alleged corruption, the dossier goes to court

An ad hoc parliamentary commission is not suitable to examine the Novartis case, which must therefore be referred to the courts. This was decided on the night between Friday and Saturday, after long debates, by the Greek Parliament.
The pharmaceutical multinational, we recall, is suspected of having paid bribes to senior political leaders between 2006 and 2015.
Fra i presunti corrotti figurano l’ex premier conservatore Antonis Samaras, il commissario europeo alla migrazione Dimitris Avramopoulos e il governatore della Banca di Grecia Yannis Stournaras. A loro si aggiungono altri sei ministri o viceministri. Tutti negano gli addebiti. Novartis sabato ha ribadito di lavorare in stretta collaborazione con le autorità per chiarire la questione e che ha avviato un’indagine interna.
