Menios Koutsogiorgas

Agamemnon Koutsogiorgas (Greek: Αγαμέμνων Κουτσόγιωργας; 1922 – 18 April 1991), commonly known as Menios Koutsogiorgas (Μένιος Κουτσόγιωργας), was a Greek lawyer, police officer and politician. As a close associate of Andreas Papandreou, the founder and leader of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), Koutsogiorgas emerged as one of the most powerful cabinet members during PASOK's 1981–1989 government and was widely regarded as Papandreou's heir apparent. Embroiled in the Koskotas scandal, however, he was brought before a Special Tribunal. During the procedure, he collapsed in the courtroom on 11 April 1991 and died a week later.
