The deputy director of the Rhodes urban planning office, along with four employees and two private engineers, is among those arrested for their alleged involvement in a corruption network.
According to sources, a former director of the office is also under investigation.
The police’s special anti-corruption unit continues its ongoing investigation, with searches of the homes and holiday residences of the suspects.
The case was uncovered after a complaint was submitted to authorities, prompting an investigation that has been underway since last summer.
So far, authorities have discovered over €200,000 in cash linked to the case, while documents and notes have been seized from the urban planning office.
