Greek church rocked by scandals
By Richard Galpin
BBC News, Athens

The Greek Orthodox Church has suspended a senior bishop over a scandal that has engulfed the clergy and the judiciary.

He is one of several clergymen alleged to have tried to influence or bribe judges to fix the outcome of trials - some involving drug dealers.

Another priest was arrested on Friday accused of involvement in a series of allegedly fixed trials, as well as the illegal trade of antiquities.

Four judges have been charged with serious disciplinary offences.
