Ex-Greek minister in probe
A former Greek minister says he was given money by the German electronics giant Siemens. The former Socialist transport minister, Tassos Mantelis, told a parliamentary committee he had accepted the equivalent of €100,000 (£116,000) in 1998. The minister said the money was a “campaign donation”. His statement comes amid an investigation into bribes paid to politicians in return to be granted contracts.
