Reporters United raised questions to Minister Adonis Georgiadis about the Israel Allies Foundation and the meeting at the Athens Club, which he reportedly described as non-secret. They asked which MPs, ministers, and businesspeople attended, who was part of the Greek group of MPs from the organization and under what terms, and whether the presidency of the Parliament was aware of its creation. Reporters United stated that, according to a report on August 8, 2024, Georgiadis had received 11 messages infected with Predator in 2021—more than any other target in Greece—and that he had been officially informed by the Data Protection Authority. They asked him why he did not take legal action and whether being targeted by illegal surveillance software 11 times constituted a national security issue for a high-ranking minister. The outlet also claimed that filming and photographing the minister in public space while performing his duties was a right of journalists and did not violate his personal data. Finally, it reminded that, as reported, its investigations had led Georgiadis to withdraw on May 30, 2025, a secret contract bearing his signature for the transfer of DNA of hundreds of thousands of infants to private individuals. #Δημοσιογραφία #Πολιτική #Δικαιοσύνη (translated)

Chris Avramidis wrote that Pavlos Marinakis had met with Kimberly Guilfoyle on September 16 and described their conversation as "extremely productive and substantial." According to Avramidis, less than a month later, Donald Trump requested her resignation amid allegations and reports regarding her behavior. Avramidis mentioned that he asked what was discussed in the meeting and whether topics related to the Vertical Corridor and the business interests surrounding it were raised. In his description, Marinakis initially responded by criticizing those who found the meeting problematic, while later stating that among the topics were the embassy press releases and the communication of the visits of American officials. Avramidis cited reports indicating that Guilfoyle was asking businessmen for hundreds of thousands of dollars, even to pay off her luxury Mercedes. He added that, according to reports, she had made derogatory comments about Greeks during the crisis. Regarding the Vertical Corridor, Avramidis wrote that Marinakis responded that the agreement was signed before Guilfoyle arrived in Greece. He clarified that his questions concerned the subsequent processes and the business interests surrounding the implementation of the project. According to Avramidis, the government spokesperson extensively presented the energy strategy, mentioning among others ExxonMobil, Chevron, Bergam, Rubio, Houston, and Ukraine, but responded negatively to the question of whether he discussed these issues with Guilfoyle. Avramidis added that Marinakis hinted that those who disagreed with the Vertical Corridor might, albeit inadvertently, express the positions of neighboring countries. He argued that the project would increase the prices consumers would pay and stated that he would continue to ask government officials about their meetings with foreign officials and the interests surrounding multi-billion dollar agreements. #Κυβέρνηση #ΕπιχειρηματικάΣυμφέροντα #Διπλωματία (translated)

Aretí Athanasiou wrote that, although Kimberly Guilfoyle may have stepped away, the revelations were just starting. She mentioned that billionaire businessman Eric Deters, whom she described as a major donor to Donald Trump, had refused to pay $100,000 to Guilfoyle's credit card because, according to her, she did not do what he asked of her and had disclosed personal information about her.

Vance. According to her, Deters also said that he would play the recording the following day and that it could affect the potential electoral duo of Vance-Rubio.

Chris Avramidis stated that he asked the Greek government about reports from the Daily Mail and the Wall Street Journal regarding Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle and AKTOR lobbyist Christos Marafatsos. According to what he cited from the Daily Mail, Guilfoyle allegedly requested $250,000 from Greek businessmen to pay off her luxury Mercedes. The Wall Street Journal, as he mentioned, wrote that the paid lobbyist Marafatsos accompanied the ambassador to official government meetings, without the interlocutors always knowing which company he represented. Avramidis said he asked government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis who the businessmen were, whether they had transactions with the public sector, which meetings with ministers the lobbyist participated in, and whether possible conflicts of interest would be checked. According to the journalist, Marinakis replied that the issue did not fall under the government's competencies, accused him of adopting the reports, and referred him to the press offices of the ministries. Avramidis added that the government spokesman said the government could neither dismiss nor adopt the reports. The journalist argued that the questions regarding the lobbyist's meetings with ministers, whether they knew which company he represented, and whether the contacts for potential conflicts of interest would be examined remained unanswered. #Ελλάδα #πολιτική #δημοσιογραφία (translated)
