Varoufakis Trial Over Decades-Old Drug Use Slammed as Political Persecution
Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has been indicted and will face trial for allegedly promoting drug use. The charges stem from comments made on a podcast where Varoufakis admitted to trying marijuana and ecstasy approximately 36 years ago at an Australian festival. He stated his intention to be truthful about past drug use, drawing a parallel to Bill Clinton’s famous remark.
