New revelations are coming to light regarding the huge fortune of George Trangas, which is under the microscope of the authorities.
As the police editor of the newspapers "To Vima" and "Ta Nea", Vassilis Lambropoulos, revealed on MEGA's main newscast, the well-known publisher was giving fictitious receipts to businessmen. In this way, the journalist was trying to justify the amounts he received.
In particular, following complaints that had reached the Authority for money laundering, it had become known that Giorgos Trangas was threatening businessmen with publications and asking them for large sums of money, sometimes in the form of "monthly payments" in order not to discredit their companies.
For these arrangements, when receiving amounts from businessmen, George Trangas would issue fictitious receipts from a receipt book, thus wanting to show an image of legitimacy of the income he had from these transactions.
As it appeared from the evidence provided to the authorities by the businessmen, these receipts did not have any tax information on them, they were essentially virtual receipts.
At the same time, in the 60-page conclusion of the Authority for money laundering, it is explicitly stated that George Trangas has committed the crime of extortion.
Finally, it is worth noting that in 2018, one of the systemic banks addressed the Authorities, underlining that there were suspicious transactions in the accounts of George Trangas, but nothing was investigated.
