Former minister the object of judicial investigation

An unnamed former deputy minister is the object of a judicial investigation that was sent to Parliament on Thursday by the Supreme Court prosecutor. By law, when there is evidence indicating that an MP or a minister is implicated in a judicial investigation the case file is forwarded to Parliament, which must decide whether prosecution is warranted. 
 
 The case concerns the protection of some 25 hectares of public land in the Athens suburb of Glyfada and in Paliohano on the Astrous coast that has also been the subject of press reports.
