In recent hours, the name of George Manikas has been thrust into the spotlight, as he allegedly appeared on a list of individuals connected to a fraud scheme worth 22 million euros against EFKA. The model wanted to clarify his position and published an excerpt from a website article where his name was mentioned. The article stated, among other things: “According to information from police sources, the list of defendants includes other well-known figures. These include two models, one of whom is George Manikas.”
George Manikas: “We have no official notification from the authorities that he has become a defendant for any criminal act,” says his lawyer
“Through publications and informal leaks, we were informed about the involvement of our client Mr. George Manikas’ name in the case of dismantling a public fraud scheme. To all those who want to stir up controversy, we clarify explicitly and categorically that as of now we have no official notification from the authorities that Mr. Manikas has become a defendant for any criminal act,” says George Manikas’ lawyer, Dimitris Zormpas.
“Indeed, the well-known model’s lawyer further points out that it is questionable for his client’s name to be leaked to journalists and mass media while there is no official notification to him personally.” “In any case, our client is available to the authorities to provide any information in order to facilitate their investigation. It goes without saying that publications and references regarding Mr. Manikas’ involvement in the case under investigation will be thoroughly evaluated for taking any legal measures.”
