Greek court finds socialist ex-minister guilty of money laundering

ATHENS - Agence France Presse

A Greek court on Monday found a socialist ex-minister guilty of money laundering in a case that has become emblematic of political corruption in the debt-wracked country.

Akis Tsohatzopoulos, a founding member of the socialist Pasok party and a leading figure on the Greek political stage for the past 30 years, served as defence minister from 1996 to 2001.
