Charges over repeat prison break

 
Αcriminal investigation against a helicopter pilot and several prison guards was opened on Monday, a day after Sunday's repeat helicopter escape by convicted felon Vassilis Paleokostas and Albanian convict Alket Rizaj from Korydallos prison near the port of Piraeus. 
 
Expectedly, the "deja vu" escape generated front-page banner headlines in the Athens press and reverberations across political fault lines on Monday, with the government on announcing a series of measures designed to tighten security in the country's correctional facilities. The measures were taken after an emergency Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis to discuss Sunday's sensational repeat escape. 
 
In statements after the meeting, Justice Minister Nikos Dendias, whose portfolio includes the correctional system, underlined the government's belief "that this attempt could not have succeeded without participation from the inside". 
 
After demanding and receiving the resignations of the prison staff on Sunday night, Dendias added that he has requested from the Supreme Court prosecutor and the head of the authority against money laundering to allow the opening of bank accounts of all those charged in connection with the case as well as of the staff in the specific wing of the prison.  
 
Dendias said one perimeter guard, two other guards, the head guard of Korydallos prison and the pilot of the helicopter used in the escape have been arrested and charged. Three top officials, two justice ministry secretaries and the penitentiary's warden, were cashiered on Sunday evening. 
 
The same duo of convicts, Paleokostas and Rizaj, had escaped from the same facility in 2006 in the same exact manner, i.e. aboard a helicopter.  
 
The justice ministry has further sought from the relevant authority the opening of bank accounts of the prison employees of Korydallos' third wing, where the two escapees were incarcerated.
