Police raid Attica town planning offices, arrest six for bribery

A major operation by the Internal Affairs Service has targeted a corruption network allegedly involved in bribery and illegal property settlements in Attica. Six people have been arrested so far, including officials from town planning departments and the Decentralized Administration, along with a private engineer.

Among those detained are two supervisors from municipalities in the northern suburbs, employees and committee members of the Decentralized Administration, and a private engineer. Sources indicate that at least 30 other individuals, some of whom work in town planning offices across the region, are implicated in the investigation.

The alleged scheme involved members of the network facilitating the regularization of illegal constructions, issuing unauthorized building permits, reducing fines for urban planning violations, and resolving various property-related issues for a fee. The Internal Affairs Service is expected to release official announcements detailing the scope of the case and the charges faced by those involved.
