November 11, 2026
A builder testified in court that Father Nectarios asked him not to issue receipts for his construction work at the Abakoum Monastery to avoid VAT payments. He discussed various construction jobs worth around €38,700, and mentioned adjustments in payment due to other assignments given to third parties. The defense lawyers challenged his claims and questioned his personal interest in cooperating with authorities. The witness also stated that Nectarios claimed to be a trained accountant who would not pay VAT. His testimony focused on the nature and value of the work done.
