The prosecutors handling the appeal of convicted former National Defense Minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos have requested that the members of the Government Council of National Defense (KYSEA) during Mr. Tsohatzopoulos’ tenure be summoned.

Specifically, the prosecutors have requested that the courts summon former Prime Minister Kostas Simitis [pictured right], former ministers Evangelos Venizelos, Yannos Papantoniou and Vaso Papandreou, as well as top military officers Athanasios Tzoganis, Manolis Paragioudakis and Georgios Ioannidis.

The court has convened in order to rule on the request.
