Voice of Russia: Criminal trail of South Stream pipeline
In Greece, an investigation has been launched into an alleged plot to oust or even assassinate former Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis. The suspects have yet to be identified, but the Prosecutor’s Office is aware of the existence of the plot.
A probe into the alleged plot was launched in 2008 when police obtained indirect evidence that a group of individuals was planning to oust Karamanlis or even assassinate him. The objective was to prevent Greece from signing an agreement with Russia on the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline. Reportedly, the Greek police received evidence to this effect from Russian surveillance officers. MORE
