Four suspects were placed in pretrial detention following multi-day hearings in a case involving an alleged fraud scheme that defrauded Greece’s social security fund, EFKA, of millions of euros.
The case involves 22 defendants, including two accountants and an advertiser deemed central to planning and executing the alleged scheme.
Also detained was the brother of a former reality TV contestant linked to companies under investigation for fictitious transactions.
Eleven other defendants were released under restrictive measures and bail ranging from €10,000 to €50,000.
Several denied wrongdoing, claiming their identities or documents were misused without their knowledge.
