The move has fueled political clashes, particularly between PASOK and the main opposition party, SYRIZA. The two parties exchanged barbs over case files and additional documents related to the investigation. SYRIZA MP Olga Gerovassili stated that her party was aware of the new evidence, while PASOK countered that it had not been formally announced in Parliament.<\/p>\n

PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis took aim at SYRIZA\u2019s Sokratis Famellos, accusing him of undermining his own MP, escalating tensions between the opposition parties.<\/p>\n
