Slander conviction against former DM Kammenos over bogus CDS claims elicits reax by PASOK successor party

The spokesman for the lesser opposition Kinima Allaghis (KINAL) party on Tuesday directly referred to an appellate court s affirmation of a slander conviction against former defense minister and Independent Greeks (AN.EL) party founder and leader Panos Kammenos.
The appellate court ruled in favor of plaintiff Andreas A. Papandreou, who charged that Kammenos fabricated allegations by which the former had invested in credit default swaps (CDS) prior to 2010 linked with Greek state bonds.
Kammenos, whose small, right-wing and anti-bailout party served as the junior party coalition partner for leftist SYRIZA between 2015 and 2019, appeared on news programs and made statements to the press in 2011 to allege that Papandreou essentially profited handsomely from Greece s first default.
