Dimitris Avramopoulos has faced two primary controversies during his career. He was implicated in the Novartis bribery scandal, an investigation into alleged kickbacks from the pharmaceutical company to Greek politicians between 2006 and 2015. Avramopoulos served as Greek health minister during that period, denied all allegations as an unprecedented plot, and testified before prosecutors while maintaining his innocence. Additionally, he served on the honorary board of the NGO Fight Impunity, founded by Pier Antonio Panzeri, and received €60,000 for his services between 2021 and 2022. He resigned after corruption allegations emerged.
