Greece party and ministers face bribery probe after election
In Athens two former Papandreou ministers Agamemnon Koutsogiorgos and George Petsos were named in a bribery inquiry and Parliament was urged to lift immunity. Aliki Koutsogiorgos, wife of the deputy premier, was among three charged in a $2 million bribery case tied to the ministers. The Bribery scandal helped topple Papandreou’s Panhellenic Socialist Party. In Panama City the military agreed to join talks to resolve the Noriega crisis. The government said the talks would include the military in the delegation, though Noriega was branded non negotiable.
