A space on the top floor of the building where the Ark of the World structure is hosted in Athens, was the... apartment of Father Antoniou and Elder, Stamatia Georganti.
This space, now, has been vacated as the new management of the NGO ordered the things to be removed and the space will be used for the needs of the structure. Something that apparently was not done until recently as Father Antonios and the elder were essentially using it as their permanent residence.
Two trucks of a transport company took all of Father Antonios' household goods from the Athens structure. Electrical appliances, furniture, exercise equipment and even... a piano were loaded onto the two trucks. What is surprising is the fact that these trucks will not go to another house or a warehouse to unload their cargo, but will remain parked in a parking lot.
However, as reported on Alpha's main newscast, Father Antonios maintained "personal space" in other structures as well. In Chios, Epirus, Volos and Kalamata there were rooms that contained the... necessary for the head of the Ark of the World. A double bed, exercise equipment, a fireplace... Indeed, in some structures there were complaints that the stare in front of this room had to be emptied when Father Antonios arrived there, so that those accompanying him could be accommodated. This resulted in the children being squeezed into other dormitories with the other children.
In addition, the authorities are targeting allegations of interrupted education and forced labour of the children. Such allegations exist for almost all the structures run by the Ark of the World, and their validity is now being checked to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
Finally, as the investigation progresses and the allegations increase, Father Antoniou's side seems to be preparing a legal counter-attack. Lawyer Andreas Karagiannis, in his statements, claimed that although Father Antonios is in a bad psychological state, he insists that all the accusations are false and fabricated. "What they said, they said. Now we will talk," he claimed he was told by the former head of the Ark of the World.
