Lakkotrypis's Licensing for ElvalHalcor and Oversight Gaps
January 31, 2026
A confidential document reveals that former Energy Minister Georgios Lakkotrypis obtained permission to join the board of ElvalHalcor in 2021. However, a related file was missing from the Parliament, raising concerns about the adequacy of oversight for former public officials transitioning to the private sector. MP Irini Charalambidou noted that she had requested related licenses from Parliament without success. Lakkotrypis's request was approved on July 7, 2021, but is not found in available records. This situation seems to highlight gaps in the oversight system for transitions from the public to the private sector.
