“Misunderstanding” brought the arrest of croissant Benny Steinmetz in Athens – Newsbomb
The Israeli Croesus, Benny Steinmetz, is not a random case. His fortune reaches 4.1 billion. dollars, with their activities focusing on the diamond trade and real estate.
He has been accused of corruption and forgery in the past, with him categorically denying everything that accuses him. In fact, in the past he has tried to do business in our country as well. Benny Steinmetz has a weakness in Greece.
Its financial surface allows it to travel exclusively by private flights. With one of them he arrived in Athens on November 24, when he landed in the special area for VIP of the “Eleftherios Venizelos” airport. The billionaire businessman felt safe as he knew that the burden of his arrest warrant from Interpol was not in force for EU member states. This is because it was considered that the reports of the Romanian authorities on the basis of the warrant were not sufficient.
The databases, however, appear to have still registered the red ad, as a result, the Greek police stopped him at the airport and detained him until the landscape cleared up. According to information, the arrest procedure was followed normally and the Israeli businessman was taken to the Appellate Prosecutor’s Office. He was then released.
His lawyer told the Israeli newspaper Globes: “I confirm that Mr. Stenmetz was arrested at the Athens airport due to failure to implement the cancellation of the arrest warrant. “We are handling the case and we believe that Mr. Steinmetz will return home and work quickly.”
Although the case is shrouded in mystery, everything shows that Benny Steinmetz has not left our country and remains in Athens. He is probably staying in a luxury hotel, waiting for the “misunderstanding” to be resolved and for him to return to his homeland, Israel.
The 65-year-old Croesus was not the first time he was arrested at an airport. The same thing happened in 2016 when he was handcuffed at the airport of his homeland. At the time, the businessman was facing charges related to a financing case with a focus on investing in a mine. In this case, as in many others, the 65-year-old claimed that everything was done legally.
