Developments today at "Ark of the World", as, with a unanimous decision of the new administration, close associates of Father Anthony and the elder were removed.
These are more than five persons who were invited to the structure and consented to their departure, as confirmed by the new president Alexandra Martinou. In fact, according to TV reports, they have reportedly already received their compensation.
These include, among others, the Iraqi, who was the general manager of the Ark and provoked with his opulent life, but also the infamous "Paschalis", who had an active role in the structures of the Ark and is the protagonist in the complaints of several former and current Ark of the World inmates, both for beatings and harassment. He is even considered, along with "Peter" and "Anastasius", to be one of Father Anthony's three "servants".
In the coming days, the evaluation of the staff will continue, and a security service will be appointed to ensure the security of the structures.
347,000 euros and deposits of 14 million
Meanwhile, as it became known earlier, the phrase "I took the 347.000 euros and the pounds from the safe deposit box of the bank in Kolonos to count them" is attributed to the elderly mother and was addressed by the wife of Father Antonios to the stunned officers of the Financial Police, when the searches yielded a "scoop" and the cash and the gold pounds were found in a crypt.
In fact, elder Stamatia Georgi went a step further and claimed that, after the count, the cash would be deposited in bank accounts of the "Ark".
At the same time, the latest figures from Greek banks put the amount of the deposits at 14 million euros.The authorities are waiting for answers from two more banks,[/B] so it is possible that the amount could be even higher. Money that was in "Kivotos" accounts, but managed by her and Father Antoniou's elderly mother.
What the authorities are now investigating is all the movements of the disputed accounts from which in the last five years at least 35 million euros of donations to the NGO passed[/B] and the latest evidence shows some significant amounts came from undisclosed sources.
In the crypt-safe in the apartment used by the couple above the Kolonou structure, dollars and documents were still found that are likely to be treasure in the hands of the relevant authorities. Of course, a source claimed to protothema.gr that officers of the Financial Police are not at all sure that there was only this money in the safe deposit box and speculate that possibly most of it is hidden elsewhere. This is because the safe deposit box that 9 days ago was last visited by the couple is now empty.
At the same time the couple's debit and credit cards have been put under the microscope and a thorough check is being carried out to identify suspicious movements, strange purchases and money transfers. Hundreds of thousands of euros were also found in three of the couple's bank accounts, the other two accounts are being checked, while around 120,000 euros were found in the priest's payroll account,
and the incredible thing is that there has been no movement in the last decade!
