Greek Police (ELAS) has issued a total of 232,000 fines from the start of the pandemic in March 2020 until the end of the year. The fines total the exorbitant amount of 52 million euros.
Head of Greek Police Mihalis Karamalakis said on Thursday that ELAS has conducted 8.5 million checks around the country for the implementation of the government’s measures to stop the spread the coronavirus since last year.
Unfortunately, he did not also reveal how many of the fines were appealed by citizens and how many were deleted as “unfounded.”
Neither could he say how many of the fines were indeed paid and how many were forwarded to the tax office to burden the debt account of the measures’ violator.
Karamalakis also revealed that 900 police officers who are in contact with the public have been inoculated against the virus since the vaccination program began. The officers received vaccine doses that were redundant.

It would be interesting to know what the sentence: “The officers received vaccine doses that were redundant.” really means? If you set a policy to vaccinate certain groups as a matter of priority how can any doses be redundant until all in those priority groups have been vaccinated? What stopped those doses being given to someone in the priority groups?
It means that they were given spare doses from the standard vaccine packages that have a small oversupply above the quantity officially sold. In the UK they allocate the “redundant” oversupply in the Pfizer packages to the general population, to save on costs to the NHS.
Basically, it’s Greek government bullshit — pretending to be clever.
