What is happening

What the sources report

The activity of a criminal network in Northern Greece has been revealed, whose members used an NGO as a front to embezzle sums from fundraising drives for children with serious illnesses.[1]

The Hellenic Police press spokesperson said six people had been arrested in connection with the organisation and that it was collecting money for fundraising drives without the required permit.[2]

The mother of a 12-year-old boy with leukaemia told ThessPost.gr that her family's need for financial support was allegedly turned into a means of raising money for the organisation.[3]

She contacted a 35-year-old woman who is allegedly one of the leading figures in the ring and has been arrested, and she told her that photographs and information about the child's illness would be published on social media.[4]

The mother says that a large sum was collected for her and that she was given a Flex One card, but she does not know how much money was raised in total.[1]
