Greek deputy minister to the PM Giorgos Mylonakis filed a complaint before the Supreme Court prosecutor in Greece on Tuesday against publications linking him to the allegations of Makarios Drousiotis, which he decried as “fabricated and defamatory”.

The action follows a report published on Sunday by the Greek news outlet Documento, which included alleged text messages and claims connecting him to a purported clandestine ‘Rosicrucian’ cabal operating within both Cyprus and Greece.

Mylonakis rejected the claims in full, stating that material submitted to judicial authorities proves “beyond any doubt” that the messages and conversations attributed to him are falsified.

“From the very beginning, I made it clear that the publication in question, as far as it concerns me, has absolutely no relation to reality,” he said.

He added that the evidence he has provided demonstrates that “very serious criminal acts were committed against me”.

The complaint targets “all responsible”, including unnamed individuals, with Mylonakis arguing that the alleged fabrication was intended as a character assassination.

“These acts not only insult my honour and reputation, but also, due to my position, aim to create false political impressions with unforeseen implications,” he said.

He expressed confidence in the Greek judicial system, stating that it will “thoroughly investigate” the case and identify those responsible.

The case forms part of wider allegations publicised by Drousiotis.

Earlier reports in Greek media, referenced alleged communication between Mylonakis and former prime minister Alexis Tsipras, which he has denied, saying he had “no communication” with Tsipras in regard to the alleged dealings of the now deceased Laiki banker Andreas Vgenopoulos, himself being implicated in the Focus scandal for having bribed the former central bank governor Christodoulos Christodoulou.

Drousiotis has also previously levied that former President Nicos Anastasiades appropriated the lion’s share of a €500,000 donation to his party by Vgenopoulos which was contributed shortly before the 2008 presidential election.

Mylonakis characterised the broader narrative as a “fictional scandal” and “conspiracy theories”, reiterating that he has no connection to the individuals or events outlined.
