Alexia and her…boys! After Steinmetz, between her “hands” and the “ghost” coming from Venezuela – Gianna's houses and black money

A few months ago, the Financial Times published an article about Alexia Bakoyannis collaborating with Benny Steinmetz and the Italian refinery. However, she highlighted the “companies” as well as the names of those who have entered into agreements with her company AIA Relate.

So Alexia Bakoyannis also handled the communications of the mysterious expatriate from Venezuela, businessman Theodoros Dozoglou.

Here the question arises: Who is this master?
First, let's start with the basics. The report says he was a favorite of the Javes regime and had contacts across Venezuela's politics and business. Information and publications also claim that the Dozoglu family possesses great wealth in Latin and North America, even acquiring it before the Bolivarian Revolution. Other information that the Greek expatriate had ties to senior government officials and prominent citizens of the country who controlled the Venezuelan national oil company PDVSA!

I continue.
He's… Syrian! To be precise, he came to Greece from Tsipras and Pappas in 2015.
In particular, when the Syriza party took over the country, for the first time on the left, this Venezuelan businessman, the “white knight” as those known to him, began to spread money in our country.

what did he do; His family bought the Pendelikon Hotel in Kifissia (worth €23 million), the former OTE building in central Athens on Stadiou Street, the Mistral Hotel in Piraeus and the famous Leto Hotel in Mykonos. Except for Leto which was purchased on rent, the rest of the buildings remain unused…

More specifically:
– The first deal was concluded in the spring of 2015, when Vardi Hotel Enterprises announced the transfer, through auction, of the ownership of the historic “Pentelikon” hotel in Kephalari Kifissias, the property of the same name, as well as the two corresponding brands (“Pentelikon Hotel”, “ Estate Pentelikon Catering Center) for Theodoros Dozoglou. The property has come under the control of the businessman through Alfa Bank in exchange for liabilities of 26 million euros to its previous owners… Its renovation is underway and according to the most optimistic forecasts, it will be reopened before the start of this season.

The second deal took place in Mykonos, in May 2016, through Asteras 2020, where Dozoglu acquired Leto Hotel at a price of 16.9 million euros, that is, a significant premium, compared to the initial price of 10 million euros from TAIPED. . For the hotel, which has 25 rooms and 48 beds, more than 15 planners have expressed interest, including major players in the domestic and foreign real estate market. Although the unit was built in 1952, its value is great due to its privileged location overlooking the old port of Mykonos…

– The third deal was made with the purchase of the OTE property, in Kolokotroni Square and more specifically at Stadiou 15 and Anthimou Gazi Street, near the Old Parliament Building. Neoclassical style with a total area of ​​1400 square meters. It was built in the early 1930s, based on designs by the important mid-war architect Anastasios Metaxas, and one of the proposed uses for the buildings is that of a hotel.

He also acquired the village building in Valero from Alfa Bank for 20 million euros and one of the most beautiful villas in Velothi on Athanasiou Diakou Street, which was owned by the large Tsandilis business family.
Also in Mykonos, Theodoros Dozoglou Companies are said to have acquired a complex owned by the Theodoros Angelopoulos family as well as another large area in Elia.

The chosen ones…the advisors
His advisors, I count on my fingers. The voice of former shareholder of the construction company DIEKAT, Nikos Toulis, Christos Stefanitsis, and the well-known Giorgos Tripiklis, a friend of Nikos Papandreou, can be heard. We also remind you that this man was a representative of the American company SAIC, which supplied the C4i security system for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

Secret and “yes” Avramopoulos
However, if we search the Venezuelan press, you will find very few publications about Dozoglu. One of the reports in which their names were found relates to the wedding of Diogenes Duzoglu with lawyer Georgette Coronado Fagoni in 2009, which was “splendorously held” at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Dormition of the Virgin in Florida, Venezuela in the presence of Teodoros Duzoglu. There are publications and tributes to family patriarch Diogenes Dozoglu Antoniades when he died in 2005.

Finally, Diana Christina Duzoglu, Diogenes' younger sister, who studied and lived for a while in Boston, has her own blog – with political content – in which she opposes the government, often with “inflammatory” articles… The Indian company is located in Caracas, a private limited company, which According to the little information provided on websites from Venezuela, it was founded in 1955 by Diogenes Dozoglou-Antoniades with the main goal of manufacturing and packaging items such as sauces and teas, as well as buying and selling products. And other local and imported goods.

However, the first “blow” of the Dozoglou family in Greece occurred in 2001. More specifically, on May 18, 2001, during Avramopoulos' term as mayor of Athens, the bust of Francisco de Miranda (1750-1816) presented on Michalkopoulou Street was destroyed He fought for Venezuela's independence from the Spanish crown. The sponsors were the Dozoglu brothers, along with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

According to the latest update (years ago) provided by the mysterious Venezuelan investor, he has bought more than 70 properties worth more than $300 million in Greece since 1990, while SCD owns shares of at least $180 million.

And investigation into money laundering
Finally, it should be noted that this businessman, according to reports, has been targeted by the authorities on charges of money laundering in order to verify the movements of the expatriate businessman in 5 countries, to verify remittances, money routes, bank accounts, foreign loans and the network of companies in Cyprus as well as a number of real estate markets in our country that have never been opened!

He wrote and did not deny that 5 letters signed by the Chairman of the Commission, Mr. Vorliotis, were sent to the competent independent authorities in Venezuela, the United States, Switzerland, the Virgin Islands and Cyprus, asking them to assist in the investigation of the case of possible money laundering of huge amounts of dirty money, by providing important details about the accounts. Banking, financial and commercial transactions as well as foreign companies that may be involved in the case are under investigation!

Following complaints and evidence coming into the possession of the Anti-Money Laundering Authority, an investigation is underway into a labyrinthine network, as they describe it, of companies in which a first-degree relative of Mr. Dozoglu is involved in Cyprus, while these labyrinthine companies are said to be affiliated with other corporate structures in Panama. ! In addition, millions of dollars in money transfers of suspicious origin that followed the route between Venezuela, Miami, Zurich and Athens are being investigated and are considered crucial and important. For this reason, conditions are created to seek legal assistance also from Switzerland.

According to the same sources, who know people and things from the inside, the focus of the commission’s investigation is also a multi-million dollar loan that the expatriate businessman – from Venezuela – obtained from an American bank without providing guarantees! It is very strange that financing is approved, even from an American bank, without providing guarantees! It is rumored that this American bank is linked to interests from Panama!

In any case, through the letter sent by the Authority to the corresponding independent body in the United States of America, it is requested to provide information and clarifications regarding all types of banking transactions for the businessman Dozoglu in the United States of America!
