I have no relationship with those judged by the Justice

The mayor of Piraeus characterizes science fiction scenarios Yannis Moralis the publications linking him to the investigation of the case fan violence, related to the murder of the police officer Giorgos Lyggeridis, adding that it has nothing to do with the persons judged by the Court.

Responding to a journalist’s question, Mr. Moralis points out that “”It is obvious that this is a science fiction scenario, the circulation of which was attempted by some in exactly the same way a few months ago”.

As he explains “the fixed-term contract employees are hired in the municipalities based on the applicable law and the procedure provided for therein. And in the cases mentioned in the publications, absolutely all the prescribed procedures were followed and despite the fact that it is known to the editors of the publications, it is deliberately ignored”.

At the same time, says Mr. Moralis, it is absolutely self-evident that no private enterprise, nor public or municipal authority “can know how any employee behaves after leaving his work or service. That is, if he behaves legally or if he commits Offences”.

Responding to the insinuations in his person and the attempt to connect him with any aspect of the case, the mayor of Piraeus states that “the clearest answer is provided by my consistently observed and publicly known conduct.”

“My path both in the past when I was actively involved in football for 20 years, as well as in the last ten years as the Mayor of Piraeus is absolutely crystal clear and widely known. A path to light.

Any attempt to connect the persons judged by justice and their behavior with me has nothing to do with the truth and manifests a willful serving of expediency,” he concludes.

The answer of Yannis Moralis in detail

“It is obvious that this is a science fiction scenario, the circulation of which was attempted by some in exactly the same way a few months ago. And then and today equally unsuccessfully. I therefore clearly underline the following:

Fixed-term contract employees are hired in the municipalities based on the applicable law and the procedure prescribed by it. And in the cases mentioned in the publications, absolutely all the prescribed procedures were followed and despite the fact that it is known to the editors of the publications, it is deliberately ignored.

It is absolutely self-evident for everyone that no private company and much more no public or municipal authority can know how any employee behaves after leaving his job or service. That is, if he behaves legally or if he commits criminal acts.

To the plain insinuation against my person, and the evident attempt to connect me with any aspect of this affair, the clearest answer is furnished by my consistently observed and publicly known conduct.

My path both in the past when I was actively involved in football for 20 years, as well as in the last ten years as the Mayor of Piraeus is absolutely crystal clear and widely known.

A path to light.

Any attempt to link the persons judged by justice and their behavior to me has nothing to do with the truth and manifests willful expediency.”
