A five-justice appeals court in Athens on Monday handed down a guilty verdict against a disgraced former Greek defense minister, who was freed earlier in the year from prison after serving part of a sentence on felony money laundering charges.
Former socialist PASOK minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos, 78, and another 15 defendants, including his daughter, his wife and his ex-wife, were again found unanimously guilty on money laundering charges, which stem from defense contract kickbacks in the late 1990s.
