It will hurt …
The letter, which is typed, is addressed “To the President and Governor Central Bank” and dated March 20, 2013.
Among others, the writer states:
“We warn you and we do not bluff.
We will start from your grandchildren, then we’ll go over to your children and we’ll let you for the end so you will feel the pain as we much as we do.”
“If you will not stop immediately the deposits haircut, the price you will pay will be very big.”
Signature “Team Save the Deposits Team – Sworn to death.”
“The letter shows that the writer has a good command of the Greek language, as both spelling and syntax demonstrate a person with elementary education,” Politis notes.
The newspaper handed the letter over to authorities for investigation.
