Interpol Gets Set To Investigate Allegations of Corruption in Greek Soccer

The assault against the vice president of refereeing committee (KED) Christoforos Zografos last week and the subsequent suspension of all soccer games prompted Interpol to launch a full fledged investigation.

A report in the To Vima newspaper on Wednesday said that John Abbott, the Chairman of Interpol's Steering Group, for the Interpol – FIFA initiative to reduce corruption, was going to be in Athens in order to meet and hold talks with soccer and political officials over the recent developments.

Olympiacos chairman Vangelis Marinakis has left it to be understood that he has vital information on the assault against Zografos and has called for all club owners to convene to put an end to violence.
