Prior Knowledge in Kypseli Case; Child Savings Fund Announced

The ongoing Kypseli child abuse investigation has taken a serious turn with revelations that the Prosecutor's Office had knowledge of the family's situation as early as 2020, deepening concerns over child protection failures.

On the economic front, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is slated to unveil a new state-funded savings account for children and broader four-year economic measures at the Thessaloniki International Fair. Separately, new wildfires have broken out on Lesvos and at a winery in Patras, while an attack on a police station in Mandra left a suspect in intensive care.

Further domestic news includes indictments in a pension fraud case in Nea Makri, an inquiry against a journalist in Syros, and a critical assessment of the National Price Reduction Initiative's effectiveness against inflation. A controversy over gender stereotypes in school textbooks has also emerged.
