Athens, Greece – Fifteen years after the tragic Marfin Bank fire, Michalis Chrisohoidis, a prominent Greek politician, has publicly expressed profound shame regarding the handling of the case, particularly by the police and the broader democratic system. In a recent interview with protothema.gr, Chrisohoidis stated, "There is a shame, a disgrace, primarily for the police and secondarily for democracy." He underscored the gravity of the incident, which resulted in the deaths of three individuals, including a pregnant woman. Chrisohoidis emphasized that the case, known as the Marfin affair, represents a stain that must be cleansed. "This disgrace must be washed away," he asserted, calling for those responsible for the murders to be brought to justice.
