The prosecutor said charges should be brought against the defense ministry’s former general secretary for financial planning and defense investments, Spyridonas Travlos, and another 10 members of the negotiating committee for estimated damages to the state exceeding 30 million euros.
The contract was signed by Hellenic Shipyards in Skaramangas, with the company Thales Nederland B.V. as subcontractor, and the defence ministry in 2003.
