In this part we take a look at Razik Menidjel’s Faustian pact with the EPOnian "deep state" and try to gauge the direction in which this may be leading.
In his literary works the aspiring belletrist Razik Menidjel often refers to the writings of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, regarded by many as one of the most influential writers in the German language.
"The Other is the Evil himself, the one we already saw at work in Faust, and who will try once again to take possession of the real world, thanks to Michel's weakness and ambition."
"In his role as COO, Razik has turned out to be a zealous and untiring advocate of the EPO’s managerial cult of "Excellence". These days he is often to be found subjecting his foot-soldiers to never-ending harangues about "Quality" or whatever the latest managerial mantra-of-the-month happens to be."In any event, following his appointment as COO ICT back in December 2019, he has shown himself to be adept at drinking deeply from the corporate "Kool-Aid".
In particular, he has turned out to be a zealous and untiring advocate of the EPO’s managerial cult of "Excellence" and he is often to be found subjecting his foot-soldiers to never-ending harangues about "Quality" or whatever the latest managerial mantra-of-the-month happens to be.

"Irrespective of whatever opinion one might have about this Faustian pact, it seems to be a well-remunerated contract."Razik’s net monthly income as a EPO COO is estimated to be around €€ 20,000, including various "allowances" available to EPO employees but not counting whatever additional (tax-free) managerial bonus that he might fortunate enough to pick up along the way.
A tip-off from well-informed Greek sources led to the discovery of official public documents which reveal that in 2018 Razik and his wife Nicola applied for planning permission for the construction of a luxurious holiday residence on the sunny Mediterranean island of Crete. [PDF]
In 2018 Razik (l.) and his wife Nicola Kipper (r.) submitted a planning application for the construction of a luxurious holiday residence on the sunny Mediterranean island of Crete.
The planning application from 2018 shows plans for a luxurious holiday residence on a 1500 m€² site in the municipality of Mariou (Rethymno).
"Of course, it goes without saying that life at the EPO is not just about gourmet wining and dining and holidays in the Mediterranean sun. In addition to the generous material rewards, any Faustian pact also involves a price to be paid."As far as can be determined from local sources, the site is on elevated terrain overlooking the main provincial road which connects the mountain villages of Asomatos and Myrthios and runs through Mariou. The road is known as Eparchiaki Odos ("Provincial Road") Dichalostratou-Leukogias.
This location offers fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, in particular the southern coastline of Crete and the Libyan Sea.

"In the next part we will turn our attention to a leaked E-mail which provides some clues as to what those "goods" might be in the present case."There is plenty of work to be done back at "corporate headquarters" and, when duty calls, the "Algerian Skirmisher" is expected to "deliver the goods" demanded by his commanding officers.
In the next part we will turn our attention to a leaked E-mail which provides some clues as to what those "goods" might be in the present case. ⬆
