ABSTRACT
When Kostas Simitis, university professor in Athens and later politician, was elected prime minister of Greece, he donated his professorial salary to his academic institution for library and research development. When at some point later he asked to see the fruit of his investment in progress, no trace of his donation was found – his four-year salary contributions had vanished. The story emerged in the news, but it was generally downplayed. The case and its investigation belonged to the domain of law, it was claimed.
