Police in Attica have detained eight suspects, including the head of an e-EFKA fraud network identified as Filippos Kambouris and his wife.
A large-scale operation by the Economic Crime Unit in Attica dismantled a criminal ring that defrauded the e-EFKA system. Investigators say members include accountants, entrepreneurs and low-level operatives, and they are also probing tax-evasion allegations. So far eight suspects have been taken into custody, among them the ring’s leader, Filippos Kambouris, a known LAOS party figure and TV presenter, and his spouse. The raids covered several locations in the wider Lekanopedi region, with further statements expected from authorities.
