The prosecutor in the trial of former defense minister Yiannos Papantoniou has recommended a guilty verdict for him, his wife, and a close associate. Papantoniou is accused of money laundering related to a 2003 contract during his time as defense minister.

His wife and him were charged with laundering 2.5 million euros and were temporarily remanded. The prosecutor has raised questions about the origin of the money and suggested it may be tied to Papantoniou’s tenure at the ministry.

The verdict is set to be delivered in September, marking a crucial moment in the high-profile case.
