The first session of the parliamentary preliminary examination committee on the Novartis case will be held on Monday afternoon.
Monday’s session will focus on the election of committee chairman. SYRIZA deputy Thodoris Dritsas is expected to be nominated.
The special committee on Novartis will have the same powers as a public prosecutor when conducting a preliminary examination and will have the authority to assign either an appeals court or first-instance court public prosecutor to carry out special acts relevant to the case being investigated by the committee.
