A Greek blogger is being paid to lie as part of a mysterious “power struggle” in the Queens Greek community, according to a lawsuit.
The web writer, Nikos Stamatakis, and his Helleniscope blog have been on a “malicious and relentless campaign” against prominent Greek leaders in Astoria, a man alleges in Manhattan Supreme Court papers.
Lawyer Comas Eliades, who volunteered for St. Demetrius Church and is on board at St. Demetrius School, claims that Stamatakis falsely accused her of adultery in a school building with a married DTA mom.
Stamatkis was sued for defamation last year by former St. Demetrios superintendent Anastasios Kolarmanis, who says the blogger ruined his lies by accusing him of embezzlement. The case continues.
“Clearly portraying himself as a courageous warrior against corruption, Stamatakis has severely damaged reputation and life,” the legal filing alleges.
Eliades is also suing a number of unnamed “John Doe” defendants, whom he claims finance Stamatkis’ work as a power struggle in the community in general, and the operation and finances of the parochial school in particular. are doing. ”
Stamatkis defends his work as truth.
“My role is to expose all the power breach and ‘conflict of interest’ taking place in the St. Demetrius community of Astoria,” he said in the post, “I don’t have to pay by anyone and the website is too much Very limited income. “
“Unlike Stamatakis, I prefer to try my cases in court rather than in the press,” said Allied’s attorney, Richard Altman.
