Monks’ lawyers challenge freeze orders in St. Habakkuk scandal
€807,000 found at the Habakkuk Monastery was handed over to the police by bishop Isaiah. The money was intended for the construction of a multi-purpose building in the Lycrodontas area for the residence of monks and clergy, as well as an educational center. The monks claim the money came from the sale of immovable property owned by third parties and was managed by the abbot Nektarios for a specific purpose. The freeze orders issued on the money and the monks’ accounts are being challenged in court.
