Criticism and controversies

[edit]

Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece 305/2019 irrevocable decision

[edit]

The 305/2019 irrevocable decision (Greek: αμετάκλητο βούλευμα) along with its officially documenting release published on its website[70][71] on 5 November 2018 issued on 15 February 2019 of Z' Criminal Department of Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece (Greek: Άρειος Πάγος), Manolis Sfakianakis was sent to trial accused of having infringed the penal law concerning arbitrary abuse of power charged of a felony offense (Greek: κατάχρηση εξουσίας σε βαθμό κακουργήματος) during was Head of the Cyber Crime Unit of Hellenic Police.[72][73][74]

The 305/2019 irrevocable decision on 5 November 2018 taken by judges Aggeliki Aliferopoulou (Αγγελική Αλειφεροπούλου), vice-president of Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece Dimitrios Georgas (Δημήτριος Γεωργάς) and Grigorios Koutsokostas (Γρηγόριος Κουτσοκώστας), with the presence of Deputy Public Prosecutor of Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece Panagiotis Pagou (Παναγιώτης Πάγου) and Secretary Aikaterinis Anagnostopoulou (Αικατερίνης Αναγνωστοπούλου).

The Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece dismissed the appeal of previous referral order of the Judicial Council of Appeal Court Judges (Greek: Συμβούλιο Εφετών) because the court record of the irrevocable decision along by the findings of the investigation showed that Manolis Sfakianakis was implicated in the case appearing to be known, suggested methods, and told journalist Sokratis Giolias 37-year-old about an investigation to be conducted by the Cyber Crime Unit in the coming days at his residence in order to evade criminal charges and remove away his computer devices and any evidence which will be objectively identify who is administrator of Troktiko online journal. Also according to the court record, Manolis Sfakianakis personally had informed Sokratis Giolias for a contract killing against him, based on phone call he had with him on 16 July 2010. The journalist of Proto Thema newspaper, director of Theme 98.9 FM radio station and Troktiko online journal, Sokratis Giolias, was assassinated on 19 July 2010 by gunmen were waiting in ambush shooting him while he was outside of his residence in Athens. On 27 July 2010 in a written statement sent to the Ta Nea newspaper, the terror group "Sect of Revolutionaries" assumed responsibility for the murder. The case remains unsolved with the murderers are still being unknown.

Due to typical bureaucratic reasons and no for substantive, Manolis Sfakianakis wasn't brought to trial for arbitrary abuse of power offense and obstruction of justice, because this criminal charge has removed from the new Criminal Code of Greece on 11 June 2019 with the laws 4619/2019[75][76][77] and 4620/2019[78][79][80] when the Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece had decided before the effective date of the two laws on 1 July 2019, and before the General Election held on 7 July 2019.

Manolis Sfakianakis himself denies any wrongdoing and argued that he does not have any relation with the murder.[81] For a wild hunt against him during the period 2015 to 2019, from persons who still today are preying the sector of public law enforcement, Manolis Sfakianakis addresses, speaking to the Real News[82] newspaper with regard media reports[83][84][85][86] connecting him with the murder of journalist Sokratis Giolias in July 2010. And because, as he states, he has been patient enough to date, he declared "I now intend, to exercise all my legal rights to the Greek courts and European Union courts, while it is unprecedented the continuity development of a criminal case against me with mash data and many exculpatory elements but also the unprecedented my degrading treatment to the public by websites, publications and from false and fabricated complains in which we officially know the details of the authors who apply this atmosphere around me."[87] Manolis Sfakianakis claims that this whole existing because he was an obstacle to their plans.[88] However since 2020, in the aftermath of his initial statement[87] to pursue (but without specifying a time frame or dates) a legal action against certain persons (whose names he declined to disclose, nor he said anything more about them and his upcoming proceedings for all of which he would do), Manolis Sfakianakis nonetheless has not yet been made any legal action and has not yet been proceed with the implementation of this, whatever form this might take, with the Greek courts or European Union courts or with both these courts. It has not been seen in public since any informative announcement nor other statement release in the context of a court consideration.[89][90][91][92][93] Lawyer Christos Mylonopoulos, legal representative of Manolis Sfakianakis, he stated, "The criminal act in which the principal (Manolis Sfakianakis) is accused of committing a crime it can no longer be tried in court and no longer bring criminal charges because this now has been removed from new Criminal Code of Greece".[94]

Transfer to a different term of office (2016–2017)

[edit]

Under the chairmanship of the Chief of the Hellenic Police Lieutenant General Konstantinos Tsouvalas with the participation of two army Lieutenant Generals, has met the Supreme Council of Assessments of the Hellenic Police Headquarters (Ανώτατο Συμβούλιο Κρίσεων του Αρχηγείου της Ελληνικής Αστυνομίας) considered the (22) Major Generals of the Hellenic Police. The 2016 Annual Assessments for Police Major Generals announced in a press release issued by the Hellenic Police Headquarters on 17 February 2016 by which Manolis Sfakianakis retained to the rank of Major General and he will be assigned Head of the Administrative Support and Human Resources Branch at Hellenic Police's Headquarters (Προϊστάμενος, Κλάδος Διοικητικής Υποστήριξης και Ανθρωπίνου Δυναμικού/Αρχηγείο της Ελληνικής Αστυνομίας).

Later the same day following a press release for 2016 Annual Assessments for Brigadier Generals[29][30] issued by the Hellenic Police's Headquarters on 18 February 2016 on which contained an official announcement stated "it has accepted the action of Manolis Sfakianakis and has been cancelled his assignment at the Administrative Support and Human Resources Branch".

The transfer has attracted intense criticism from a large part of people when was reported in the media with written comments made mostly on Facebook and Twitter.[95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103] On 18 February 2016, the Members of Parliament Eleftherios Avgenakis (New Democracy), Odysseas Konstantinopoulos (Democratic Coalition), and Georgios Amyras (To Potami) they had submitted a joint question to the Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Minister of Interior and Administrative Reconstruction Panagiotis Kourouplis, with a copy thereof to the Alternate Minister of Citizen Protection Nikolaos Toskas,[104][105][106] as well as the Member of Parliament Theodoros Karaoglou had submitted a question to the Minister of Interior and Administrative Reconstruction Panagiotis Kourouplis.[107]

On 18 February 2016 the Hellenic Police Headquarters sent a written announcement (ΣΗΜΑ) to Cyber Crime Division, forwarded to a number of officials, in which the 17 February 2016 assignment for Manolis Sfakianakis is rescinded and it has approved the assignment of him to the term of office of Assistant to the Chief of Staff of the Hellenic Police Headquarters (HQ) where it will also be assigned an oversight of the Cyber Crime Division.[28] The vacant position of the Head of the Cyber Crime Division was filled when Police Colonel George Papaprodromou (Γιώργος Παπαπροδρόμου)[1][2][3] assigned for the post assumed from 27 May 2016 to 2 November 2018.

On the 21 February 2016 Eleftheros Typos newspaper's article, M. Sfakianakis he commented[108] "If I had not the confidence and support by Prime Minister (Alexis Tsipras), and people's love, they would have already demobilized me. I am an "army staff" but not a "soldier". I am Police Major General, as they done for other colleagues, they should have been notified me in the event of transfer assignment. If they were to do that, I would accept directly the assignment of the Head of the Administrative Support and Human Resources Branch. Why did they call me now? They told me you will be assigned Assistant to the Chief of Staff, and I accepted it without any protest".[109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116]

In relating to the transfer of Manolis Sfakianakis, stating for the then Ministry of the Interior and Administrative Reconstruction, Alternate Minister of Citizen Protection Nikos Toskas has said "Manolis Sfakianakis has already unduly overdone the tolerance of Hellenic Police with his excessive amount of public media appearances on his own behalf took advantage of his post. In an ordered system it should have no room for conceits. Personal capacity assignments do not exist. No-one can occupy a post over many consecutive years, who not even acquire any ownership right by reason of its prolonged stay at the post. Everyone must respect the rules. But there are other young officers with exceptional knowledge who do not seem and do not have access to mass media. It would be right to offer an access to them. I have absolutely no interest in what political party choice someone is, my concern for police force is that the work must be done. This is not about one person while it should be showcased and valued to all the police members. I am not concerned in the fact if he is accepted the post offered to him. This is standard practice, whether someone agree it or not. M. Sfakianakis has the rank of Police Major General and he could not hold the same post during all ranks because that only post he knows. It is a subject as conformed by Greek police force's hierocracy. Some supporters closest to him in the terms of political expediency they pointing out the unworthily person rather than the worthy [...]",[33][31][34] revealed Ministry's dissatisfaction with Manolis Sfakianakis' acts accusing him of obstruction of justice violating the Code of Ethics[117] following he had interfered his remit breached rules. As a result of disciplinary proceedings will be transferred to other position while he maintains his Major General rank.

Nikos Toskas also concluded stating that "there would be no further tolerance in this regard while his self-promotional actions on duty having worsened, the red lines have already been crossed and there conceits cannot be dealt with".[118][119][120][121]

Minister of Interior and Administrative Reconstruction Panagiotis Kouroumblis has stated "I think given to the issue a high emphasis (than what it really is). The assessments it does not detract Mr. Sfakianakis, and because he shall not cease to be an evolving human, to pursue further next year, such a transfer must first be done. The Hellenic Police has its own logic (definite framework of progress by default). If he declines the post offered to him, because he still wants to deal with this objective (cyber crime law enforcement) this is a different matter. Because we have to understand for this particular sector (police force) nobody can be remain permanently in an assignment".[106][122]

Nonetheless, a one-year later on 21 January 2017, the Supreme Council of Assessments of the Hellenic Police Headquarters at its 2017 Annual Assessments for Major Generals, it decided eventually to discontinue Manolis Sfakianakis from his active duty when it promoted him to the rank of Lieutenant General in the form of retirement.[36]
