Examining magistrate Gabriel Mallis is reportedly examining crucial documents in the money-laundering case of former PASOK minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos. The case files on the purchase of German-made submarines and Russian-designed TOR M1 anti-aircraft systems -- when Tsohatzopoulos was the minister of defence during the PASOK Simitis gov't-- as well as seized documents from the defendants' residences, have been forwarded to the prosecutor's office. Among the seized documents are detailed notes allegedly kept by Tsohatzopoulos in the form of a journal which some press reports in Athens said include names of journalists and military analysts who Akis had on a "payroll" and were more or less accepting kickbacks for being pro-government with funds from several offshore companies. (This should be interesting!)
