Filippos Kambouris hospitalized while in police custody for major fraud case

Filippos Kambouris, currently in police custody at the GADA headquarters, was rushed to the Gennimatas Hospital on October 8, 2026. The suspect, who is implicated in a major fraud and tax evasion case involving EFKA, reported symptoms of dizziness and numbness in his arm, claiming he was suffering a stroke. Emergency responders were unable to confirm the stroke, but he remains hospitalized for further medical evaluation.

Kambouris, his wife, and several accomplices face severe criminal charges, including the direction and formation of a criminal organization, fraud against a legal entity exceeding 120,000 euros, complicity in fraud, and money laundering. Authorities have released transcripts of wiretapped conversations that allegedly show Kambouris coordinating illicit financial activities and managing a network of front companies, including the use of an individual known as 'Kolotoumpas' to act as a legal representative.

The investigation into the network’s operations is ongoing, as prosecutors continue to build their case regarding the systemic defrauding of the Greek social security system and public funds. Kambouris is expected to remain under medical supervision before potentially returning to custody pending further court procedures.
