Judicial council to mull Papaconstantinou indictment

The vice prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Anastasios Kanellopoulos, is to complete a five-member judicial council that is being set up to determine whether or not former Finance Minister Giorgos Papaconstantinou should be indicted to trial for mismanaging the so-called Lagarde list of wealthy Greek creditors in accordance with a vote in Parliament.

The decision on Kanellopoulos was made after a lot drawn in Parliament on Wednesday selected Panagiotis Nikoloudis who cannot join the council as he testified to the parliamentary committee probing Papaconstantinou’s handling of the Lagarde list.
