Police are investigating a complaint from a medical visitor, a former associate of Mr. Sizopoulos, who claims that she illegally transported quantities of pharmaceutical drugs used by Mr. Sizopoulos as a dermatologist to his office in Cyprus on behalf of the president of EDEK.

The news was published by the newspaper "Politis" and confirmed in statements this morning on the radio of RIK by the spokesman of the Police Headquarters, Andreas Angelidis.

According to the publication, the complaint concerns the import of Botox and Dysport bottles, which the complainant claims she handed over to Mr. Sizopoulos at the time he was working with him.

Speaking on RIK radio, Marinos Sizopoulos denied the allegations, saying it was "an attempt to silence him and divert public opinion."

He asserted that his confession had been obtained through torture and that his confession had been obtained through torture and that his confession had been obtained through torture and that his confession had been obtained through torture and that his confession had been obtained through torture.

As he stated, "some people want conflict and war", without naming them and leaving tips for political games, he sent the message that they will have them. "I am not one to retreat, to bow down, to remain silent. "Let them know that I have evidence for many," he said.

At the same time, the president of EDEK wondered that no investigation has been carried out after so many "scandals" -as he characteristically said- that he brought to light by requesting their investigation.

In a statement to the KYPE, Mr. Sizopoulos also expressed surprise at both the complaint and the leak to the press.

"I have not brought such preparations to or through a third party in Cyprus and I have not sold them at a wholesale price", he added and asked "why the reason for this selective study to my detriment, while for other complaints much more serious such as financing parties by Focus, the issue of money laundering abroad, etc. the same zeal is not shown. "

For his part, the spokesman of the Police Headquarters, speaking at noon on state television, said that the investigation of the case is at an early stage since only some deposits have been received while Mr. Sizopoulos himself has not yet been called to testify.
