EDITORIAL
Declaration of assets — for all
The delayed announcement of the parliamentary deputies' declaration of assets, known in Greece as pothen esches, has aggravated public sentiment. Parliament only yesterday made public the declarations for the year 2002. Worse, Parliament has yet to release the figures for 2001, thus preventing any comparison indicating any fluctuation in the deputies' assets.
COMMENTARY
‘I know not the man’
Apostolos Vavilis, a man of two faces and five names - among them, how arrogant, Apostolos Pavlos (Apostle Paul) - is not a character from a movie or a detective novel. In plain clothes or cassock, with or without a beard, and despite being wanted by Interpol and the Greek police, Vavilis managed to build close and lucrative ties with several state bodies and institutions - the police, secret service, ministries, the local administration. His success speaks volumes about the transparency of these institutions.
