Former defense minister Akis Tsochatzopoulos, 77, was allegedly attacked on Wednesday by fellow inmates at maximum security prison Korydallos, where he is serving a 20-year sentence for laundering millions of euros in kickbacks from state defense deals, authorities said.
Initial reports suggested that long-term convict Vassilis Stefanakos was among those who attacked the former minister.
The Ministry of Justice ordered a probe into the incident.
