More precisely, Haikalis alleged that an attempt was made to bribe him in the Presidential elections, on a Friday morning appearance on ANT1, following comments made by comedian Lakis Lazopoulos.
Haikalis said that at first he was to be given 700,000 euros in cash, later an outstanding loan of his would be paid off and finally he would sign contracts with certain production companies.
The comedian turned MP said that he has handed over video and audio evidence from two meetings he had with the person that attempted to bribe him and that he has already filed a deposition. However, he did not reveal the identity of the person, which kind of makes his accusation a bit ridiculous.
It should be noted that comedian Lakis Lazopoulos -who openly supports SYRIZA- had previously reported that the man who attempted to bribe Haikalis was a businessman, but did not name him.
This too can be described as an attempt to sling some mud somewhere with the hope that it would eventually stick. The bottom line is, are the accusations true or not?
Apparently they aren't!
After the news became public To Vima contacted the prosecution, which confirmed that Haikalis submitted audio and video footage ten days ago, but they could not in any way confirm his accusations.
Following the news, the spokesman for SYRIZA Panos Skourletis told ANT1 that the prosecution must inform the political leaders of these developments immediately, as the allegations may well influence the outcome of the ongoing Presidential election process.
SYRIZA, which obviously is suffering from Stockholm syndrome, forgets that the Greek justice system has found all these accusations to be totally groundless.
Asked to comment, government spokeswoman Sofia Voultepsi said on ANT1 that in the name of public interest the evidence must be made public immediately and if they prove to be baseless, the relevant legal procedures must be initiated against the "culprits of this vile story".
She is right.
