Handcuffs to a second person for the case of deceiving families in order to exempt their children from military service.
Specifically, after the arrest of the former Defense Ministry associate, police proceeded to arrest a second person as part of the investigation, a 62-year-old man who appears to have collaborated with him.
In a statement on the matter, the Defence Minister said that the first suspect, who appeared before a court yesterday and is in custody, allegedly defrauded two families by extracting a total of 14 thousand euros in order to secure for their children exemption from military service in the National Guard.
"I am aware of the matter. I understand that he is a collaborator, not an employee, some 15 so many years ago, who had a relationship with a person from the Ministry of Defence," the minister said in his statements.
He added that "the whole case is being investigated by the Police and we will await the results. We have given all the evidence we had in our possession to the Police and a cooperative investigation is being conducted."
