Greek Investigator’s Report Finds Evidence of Plot Against Former PM’s Life, ‘Silver Drachma’ Plan
Evidence pointing to international espionage, a plot to murder former Greek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis
and a 2012 plan for Greece’s exit from the euro code-named the “Silver
Drachma” are just some of the sensational findings unveiled in a report
by Greek Anti-Corruption Investigator Dimitris Foukas, released on
Friday and sent to the Justices’ Council for consideration.
The report outlines the findings of three converging judicial
investigations spanning several years, initiated after the notorious
phone-tapping scandal in 2005 and revelations that the mobile phones of
then Prime Minister Karamanlis and dozens of other prominent Greeks were
under surveillance.
This investigation later merged with that of the “Pythias Plan'” –
for the neutralization and even murder of Karamanlis – and allegations
that Greek National Intelligence Service officers and former Minister
Michalis Karchimakis had leaked classified state secrets and documents.
