Asked about the troubling impression caused by the suspension of a sentence imposed against Aris FC after the blackmail and threats lobbed by Theodoros Karpidis, PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis stressed that the government had no involvement in the matter
Deputy Transport and Infrastructure Minister Nikos Tachiaos emphasizes that ‘no one can blackmail or threaten the Mitsotakis government’
Theodoros Karypidis didn't hesitate to threaten the government and ministers with hooligan violence at the Thessaloniki metro. MPs of the 3 major parties condemn his actions
"If Karypidis wanted to give us a heads up, he’d have gone to the prosecutor. He wouldn’t have called me and told me at least twice to go tell Mitsotakis," Nikos Tachiaos stresses, explaining his decision to take the matter to the justice system after the threats from the Aris FC executive
