The Tsagarakis Gallery has issued a statement in response to recent allegations against its owner, George Tsagarakis. The gallery clarified that the paintings found in its storage belong to Tsagarakis's personal collection, which has been inherited from his deceased parents. The gallery asserts that the possession of these artworks dates back nearly forty years, categorizing them as personal and collectible items rather than marketable goods.

Furthermore, regarding a Gospel document that had been posted online, the gallery stated that it has taken the necessary actions to submit it to the relevant authorities for authenticity verification. They are seeking to determine its historical date and the potential for purchase by the Greek government. This response indicates the gallery's intent to comply with legal requirements and maintain transparency amidst scrutiny.

This situation adds a layer of complexity to the gallery's operations, potentially impacting its reputation and legal standings. The gallery’s insistence on the personal nature of the collection and its proactive engagement with authorities may help mitigate misunderstandings, but it places them under public observation as these investigations unfold.
