Greece's Ex-Statistics Chief Acquitted After 15-Year Deficit Case

Andréas Georgiou, former head of Greece's statistics agency, was acquitted by the Supreme Court after 15 years of legal proceedings. He had been accused of inflating deficit figures to justify austerity during the 2010 debt crisis. The acquittal vindicates his role in exposing the true state of Greek finances, but the long legal battle highlights the political and judicial tensions of that era.
