In his three-page statement he claims to be a hard-working builder, denies ever being a member of New Democracy and notes that he is only interested in matters related to North Epirus, from where the originates.

The prosecution will examine Mr. Soukouras’ statement, before deciding whether to call him to testify as a suspect next Tuesday.
