There is no end to the revelations about the Ark of the World as new shocking information about the finances of the Facility has been coming in the last few hours.
The competent authorities are sifting through both the finances of the structure and the personal accounts of father Anthony, while particular attention is being paid to the movements made with the transfer of money and the money that the elder lifted from the safe deposit box of a bank branch.
Central conclusion of the Money Laundering Authority, which is investigating all the finances of the institution and its managers, it seems to be that the bank box operated by Elder Stamatia Georgi was functioning as a "warehouse" of black money for personal purposes.
As explained by the journalist of the newspapers "TA NEA" and "TO VIMA" Vassilis Lambropoulos, although the box was in the name of "Kivotos", no one knew its contents.
So Father Antonios and the elder placed the money there and depending on the need, they placed it in bank accounts - as happened last week.
According to the investigation conducted by the Money Laundering Authority, there was no exploitation of the properties that had come into the ownership of the "Ark" from donations, although some could have generated significant income.
Unanswered questions
However, the questions about the financial management of the structure are many and remain to be answered in the coming period as the amounts found in accounts belonging to the Ark are exorbitant and it remains to be clarified where they came from. The same applies to accounts in which Father Anthony and the elder are beneficiaries.
Also, the elder will have to give answers about the notorious safe deposit box, the amounts that she put in and took out from time to time as well as the "sources" of the money.
Unacceptable practices at the Facility
Otherwise, monetary gain by any means seems to have been the choice of the people in charge of the Ark of the World.
One of the ways they had found to put more euros in their coffers - or rather in their coffers - was to trade the clothes donated by citizens for the hosted children.
Live News, after an investigation, managed to discover the place where many clothes donated by citizens ended up for sale.
According to information, a small shop in the centre of Athens seems to have ended up with many of the donations from citizens for the children of "Kivotos", with the clothes shop not being far from the two buildings the structure had in the area.
Officials of the structure were reselling the clothes from citizens' donations intended for the children and even, according to reliable information, selling them in boxes.
Shock revelation for Father Antonio
Meanwhile, as the "tsunami" of allegations continues, another revelation concerning Father Antonio has come to roil the waters of the Ark.
As has emerged from the financial audit and as revealed by MEGA, the maisonette in Rafina owned by Father Antonio was purchased on 12/11/2007.
As shown by the contracts, revealed by LIVE NEWS, it is a first floor residence of 105.580 sq.m. with a parking space of 15 sq.m. and an objective value of 126,159.55 euros.
The selling price was 295.000 euros which, as it turns out, came from the money of "Ark".
It is surprising that the amount was agreed and paid in cash before the signing of the contract and outside the office as explicitly stated to the notary by the parties involved.
To this day, the residence in Rafina appears as the main residence of father Antonio and Stamatia Georganti.
