A Estate After its revelations, a further investigation was drawn up by the Anti-Money Laundering Authority and the will was thoroughly investigated by the two finance lawyers who took up the case.

Court officials, according to the latest reports, are calling anyone they believe to be involved and testifying about what they know Traga tradition.

Publisher-journalist, businessmen, banking industry executives and former members of the board of directors of some dozen companies he founded have been testifying recently.

The last offering is Maria Karras, the last wife of Yiannis Tragas and the man who built a real estate empire inside and especially outside the borders, because it’s family’s turn. If necessary, Freddy Trakas, who renounced his father’s inheritance in Greece and abroad, will also testify.

He left his life with more than seventeen properties, crores of deposits, gold bars in safe deposit boxes and who knows what else.

It was this great fortune that opened the purse of Aeolos, that all these acquisitions were first revealed, and that the private will of the deceased led to the informal bra de fer of the three heirs.

On the morning of October 26, the heirs will appear in the courtroom through their attorneys.

A practice that does not allow for any changes in the public open-mouthed will without time to account for lavish assets and millions of assets.

Sources close to Yannis Dragas have indicated that the journalist-publisher’s eldest son has yet to accept an inheritance in Monaco.

The Anti-Money Laundering Commission and Maria Carra are being investigated after the discovery of four criminal offenses that show she is considering getting involved.

The American Dream is among the three properties that Giorgos Dragas allegedly owns on the other side of the Atlantic. These are apartments in residential complexes. N Bayshore Dr. in Miami, on Biscayne Bay, next to famous Miami Beach and Margaret Bay Park with its dog park and tennis club. All heaven is just around the corner, even with the humidity. Second, on 5th Avenue in Midtown, New York, is one of the most expensive and most famous streets in the world. The third of the Weir Towers, the twin towers adorning Las Vegas Boulevard South, in the most luxurious part of the city and standing unchallenged between the “Pellagio Hotel” and the “MGM Grand” – common people only remember them from the movie “Ocean’s Eleven”.

Yiannis Tragas and his father’s last wife will be the last to be called to testify before the financial prosecutors who took over the trial. According to Maria Garra’s entourage, her intention was to appear before the judicial authorities and present her own version.

She wants to do it herself to show that she has nothing to fear, despite living abroad permanently and only arriving in Greece for 24 hours a few months ago.

As for the possibility of remand, this is unknown as there is no sense that he will repeat the same offense for which he is being tried.

That is why he reportedly decided not to have his lawyer file a statement, but to travel on his own and give his own answers when calling lawyers.

Freddie Dragas is also likely to be called to testify if necessary, according to Justice Department sources.

Karra’s lead role

If one were to try to outline the relationships that the three heirs had with the deceased, one would realize that Maria Karras had the first place by talking to people in Giorgos Tragas’ close professional circle.

He is said to have revealed all his secrets and movements against the woman he married twice and her two sons.

They both loved him, but Freddie took a career path his father never approved of, while John was clearly close to him.

In fact, she worked in the deceased’s media businesses until 2015, when she left due to alleged serious differences with her father’s last wife.

At least this is revealed by the information of former colleagues of the publisher who lived very closely the specific situation that led to the revelation of Yannis.

In any case, the same people point out, he does not have documents that reveal the well-guarded secrets of the publisher’s real estate empire.

Maria Garra allegedly had access to these and the tax returns she submitted, which her lawyer, Georgia Couvella, classified as not writing about her husband’s vast wealth.

Authoritative legal sources insist that only Ms Kouvela knows the extent of Giorgos Trakas’ assets worldwide.

In the decision obtained by the fiscal prosecutor, it is clear that apart from Maria Karras, two other close associates of the deceased were involved.

They played the role of straw men, apart from the two signing various documents, which their former colleagues say privately.

The view of the Acropolis from the balcony of the house owned by Giorgos Dragas on Roberto Galli Street, on the ring road of Philopappos, is stunning. A jewel property in the publisher’s collection, it adds prestige and offers interested parties – the property offered for short-term rental – a unique experience admiring the Holy Rock and the Parthenon.

All the developments of the last few months would not have come to light if the three heirs had agreed from the beginning who would get what.

Complications arose from parting with the vast wealth revealed by “Theme” through a series of reports on luxury properties in Monaco, the Cote d’Azur, St. Tropez, New York. Miami, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, Paris, Mykonos, Corfu and Athens, million euro bills and gold bars in safe deposit boxes.

The sharing that brought the storm

A section that was never completed – according to what was made public – due to the attitude Maria Carra allegedly took during the discussions and the disagreements that arose.

After the revelations of a private will discovered by Themis Sophos in Monaco, the deck was dealt with again, but even new consultations brought no results until the Anti-Money Laundering Protection Authority intervened.

The case took a completely different turn after the conclusion drawn by the head of Charalambos Vourliotis, it was a catapult.

With four serious criminal charges, financial prosecutors put Maria Karras, the widow of Giorgos Trakas, in the crosshairs of the investigation, as mentioned in the order she received for the confiscation of her personal property.

The assurance includes the pension account he has received so far.

Her alleged crimes against the Greek government include extortion, collusive and persistent fraud, disloyalty and money laundering, as we know it.

Financial prosecutors are now considering whether any deal Giorgos Tragas made may have been professional or related to the acquisition of assets in Greece and abroad.

He, in his immediate surroundings, surprised himself by the crimes of which he was accused, for he affirms that he never took part in the affairs of the deceased.

At the same time, she continues to dispute the extent of her husband’s undisclosed wealth, saying it is far less than both the reports and the Anti-Money Laundering Authority’s findings.

The sequestration order sets the amount of the seized assets at €23,000,000, claims Ms Karra’s lawyer denied.

Except that the dedication concerns properties written in the names of Giorgos Trakas and Maria Karras, not owned by offshore entities like many mythical properties overseas.

According to reports, financial prosecutors are already investigating the secret ways and hidden sources of his wealth, which is particularly difficult, especially when it comes to offshore companies.

Offshore companies are incorporated within hours in tax havens where companies are incorporated and operate, or sometimes in countries like Liberia.
