Bribe scandal grips PASOK
Former cadre admits taking Siemens money but only for election campaign

A former close colleague of ex-Prime Minister Costas Simitis yesterday became the first person to publicly admit that he accepted money from Siemens but Theodoros Tsoukatos, a high-ranking PASOK cadre in the late 1990s, said the cash was a campaign contribution.

EDITORIAL
The truth must be revealed
Yesterday, the Greek people were finally, and for the first time, informed about who received bribe money from German electronics giant Siemens, when they received it and how. The confession of Theodoros Tsoukatos, which followed Kathimerini's revelations in the case, may have shed some light on all the dark corners of the bribing of political parties. The investigation into Siemens must continue in every direction, cover every administration and look into all places where there is even a hint of suspicion.

Athens’s parallel universe
Transportation in Athens is one of the most important things determining the quality of life of its residents and the memories that visitors take home with them. Cars - parked or in motion - swarm over every inch of road and sidewalk. Motorcycles rumble and screech between vehicles and pedestrians, ignoring all laws and all logic. Delivery trucks, disgorging clouds of diesel fumes, block traffic lanes whenever and wherever they see fit. Taxis crawl along the curb, fishing for more customers to jam next to the trapped wretches already suffering from the heat, the sweat, the cigarette smoke, the agony of a missed appointment.
