Greek Corruption, Highlights

From Democracy to Kleptocracy: The Koskotas Template.

Collage showing suited men with blurred faces in front of layered images of Greek government buildings, banks, and media logos, symbolizing politics, finance, and public institutions in Greece.

In the late 1980s, against a backdrop of roiling political turbulence, a financial scandal of staggering proportions erupted from the heart of Athens. Presided over by the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and its charismatic leader, Andreas Papandreou, this was an era where populist ambition often blurred the lines between state governance and party patronage. The Koskotas affair was not an anomaly; it was the system’s logical endpoint. To understand this scandal is not merely to revisit a historical event, but to perform an autopsy on a foundational case study in the architecture of systemic corruption that would plague Greece for decades.
