Margaret Papandreou Files Law Suits On Claims Of Being Linked To Lagarde list

Margarita Papandreou, has filed law suits against several newspapers and three Financial Crimes Squad (SDOE) officials over allegations that she was linked to one of the accounts on the Lagarde list of depositors. The mother of former premier George Papandreou apparently sued the newspapers To Vima, ProtoThema and Dimokratia. Press reports claim that she is asking for approximately 200,000 Euros in damages from each newspaper as well as the six-month imprisonment of their publishers.

At the same time, the widow of the late Andreas Papandreou is also taking action against several SDOE officials for implying that she is connected to the case. Specifically law suits have been filed against Stelios Stasinopoulos, Evangelos Karamanos and Nikos Lekkas. The publications quoted the SDOE officials as saying that Margarita Papandreou was behind a 550 million dollar account on the Lagarde list.

Margarita Papandreou, who today is 90, dismissed all the claims and said in a statement that this spread of lies is aimed at damaging the reputation of her family.
