Irini Kalou, who handles the interrogation for the so-called "sacred exchanges", tells the Council of Appeals that there are serious signs of guilt against Ephraim and emphasizes that his actions have three special characteristics:
1. The exploitation of his status as a professor of Mount Athos monastic world radiation to influence politicians, ministers and deputy ministers, as well as senior government officials and officials.
2. The performance of acts for a long time, a fact that is not typical of his solitary form and spiritual mission.
3. The infliction of particularly great damage to the detriment of public property.
The investigator considers that it is possible for the accused, to whom the prosecution attaches a central role in the case of exchanges, to commit new offenses.
Ms. Kalou's opinion was adopted by her colleagues, members of the Board of Appeals, who decided to release Ephraim.
