Financial crimes prosecutor Grigoris Peponis summoned Greece's former representative to the IMF Panagiotis Roumeliotis to provide explanations regarding his recent statements about the IMF economic programme for Greece, in which he said that the IMF had known that the programme implemented in the country would fail.
The prosecutor will hold an investigation into possible "breach of faith against the state" and "economy related crimes".
Speaking to the New York Times, Roumeliotis had said "we knew at the fund from the very beginning that this program was impossible to be implemented because we didn't have any successful example".
The statement caused the reaction of former prime minister George Papandreou and his close associates, who accused Roumeliotis of not informing anybody about the scepticism expressed. (AMNA)
