What is happening

What the sources report

The three-member Misdemeanour Court of Thessaloniki imposed total prison sentences of 33, 21 and 10 months on a private investigator, a retiree and the partner of the first. Politic.gr

The case concerns the blackmail that Oraiokastro mayor Pantelis Tsakiris reported in October 2021, with a demand of 40,000 euros so that a video of a private moment would not be made public. Politic.gr

A police operation with marked banknotes followed, which led to the case being uncovered. Newsbeast

The court found them guilty, depending on the case, of illegal video recording, serial blackmail and use of personal data. Newsbeast

By the same ruling, a local government figure, who was seen as a political rival of the mayor and was charged as an instigator, was acquitted. Politic.gr
