The defendant in the case, Antonis Ioakeim, presented Nicos Lillis as absolute master in the processes that took place, so that the Turkish Cypriot property in Dromolaxia was licensed and ended up as an investment in the Pension Fund of the Cyta employees. He testified that during the presidency of Lille in Alki there were large contracts with football players and coaches while he paid gold for Association events and TV presenters such as Christiana Aristotelous, so that the team would "shine".
Cross-examined yesterday by the representative of the Prosecuting Authority, Elli Papagapiou, Mr. Ioakeim gave his own versions of what the prosecution witness Nikos Lillis accused him of. At the same time, he did not fail to hammer his credibility, referring to events in the Alki union, during the presidency of Nikos Lillis. It is noted that the former president of Alki, among others, had testified that Joakim was among the people who would help him advance the investment in Dromolaxia, through AKEL.
Yesterday, Antonis Ioakeim refuted the allegation, saying literally: "Mr. Judges, Lillis knew" Papa ", Katsouridis. Did he need me? They printed whatever door he wanted and whatever time he wanted and he came in. They circulated in the offices of the Ministry of Interior at eight o'clock at night. Who knew Vassos Georgiou? Who "cut" the police? "
Antonis Ioakeim, through his interrogation, also praised the "former" president of Alki, Nikos Lillis. As he claimed, Nikos Lillis pursued a reckless economic policy, with the result that the club was destroyed, while he could survive, relying even on his own limited income, ie the sponsorship of 200.000 euros from the television rights and the income from the games with the large groups.
During Lilly's presidency, Israeli coach Yitzhak Sum continued to receive a monthly salary of 25.000 euros plus a penthouse for his stay. Also the football player Dario Fernandez 20.000 euros and Cirillo 12.000 euros. In fact, for Fernandez, Lillis boasted that he managed to detach him from PAOK Thessaloniki, who wanted him passionately for his own team.
In 2012, Mr. Joachim continued, Lillis organized a party on the coast of Mackenzie in a luxurious venue, in order to present to the media and others the new team of Alki. The party was attended by 200 people and the presenter of the event was the TV personality Christiana Aristotelous, who received a tip for her services amounting to 10.000 euros.
When Antonis Ioakeim pointed out to Lilli that "he wasted Alki's money", he replied with the stereotype "Alki will shine and we will bring her big world back to the field".
"The 13 members of the group's Board of Directors", Joachim continued, "ended up as comparatists, since Lille didn't take anyone into account, while the treasurer, who was also educated, gave up and left." Joachim also did not fail to say that Lille was putting his money into the team, but he was also taking the proceeds. "I told him: Niko, we are not doing well. And indeed we did not go well", said the defendant. And he continued by saying: "But if he commanded the money... During Lille, Alki became an old man." "A felony, but in the A category", commented the Accusing Authority at this point.
According to what Mr. Joachim also testified, "from 2010 onwards, there were no meetings of the ALKIS Board of Directors, except when he wanted money or wanted to complain." "Lillis was a fellow citizen and Mimis Fantousis brought him to Alki," said Mr. Joachim.
Meanwhile, Antonis Ioakeim's lawyer, Giannakis Thomas, yesterday asked the Criminal Court to include in the presumptions of the case the documents of the Watnic agreement with the Pension Fund of Cyta's employees, on which his client will obviously face today. procedure.
"He didn't give me 200 shares of Watnic"
At another point in his cross-examination, Mr. Joachim flatly denied the Prosecuting Authority's attempt to suggest to him that Lillis gave him 200 shares of Watnic. High tones were also noted when Ms. Papagapiou submitted to the defendant that she lied that she does not regularly go to the Alki club, submitting to him that she goes almost every morning, leaves at noon and goes again in the afternoon.
The accused in an orgy style replied that he has a daughter and two unemployed sons and, if he did that, they would be hungry at his house. Mr Joachim had previously been asked about his profession and replied that he maintained a goldsmith's and a goldsmith's workshop in Larnaca.
