NOTICE-UPDATE Ekathimerini.com, in compliance with the general principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Law 4624/2019, and taking into account the principles of proportionality and data accuracy, informs its readers that, by virtue of decision no. 575/2024 of the Supreme Court of Greece, which adjudicated the case under articles 528 – 529 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, all individuals involved and accused in the Energa-Hellas Power case have been declared innocent of the charges brought against them for the acts of embezzlement, smuggling, and money laundering committed jointly and repeatedly.

A 43-year-old female fugitive charged in connection to the Energa-Hellas Power case was arrested in Kifissia, northern Athens, on Monday for violating her home detention terms.

Authorities lost track of the 43-year-old, who was working at Energa, last month after she removed an electronic monitoring ankle-bracelet device.

The woman was arrested along with her husband, for whom a European arrest warrant had been issued over charges that included money laundering.

Energa and Hellas Power are accused of withholding millions of euros from the Greek state through a special property tax levied through electricity bills. The companies allegedly collected the levies but subsequently failed to deliver the money to the state.
