Greece’s ruling Socialists reacted angrily to charges by conservative members of Parliament that government officials were involved in art theft and in a homosexual brothel, saying the accusations were a ploy for upcoming elections. The deputies charged that officials had wanted to decorate their houses with seven Italian paintings stolen from the Budapest Museum but had to abandon them because of publicity about the stolen art. The deputies also charged that a homosexual Turkish bath in Athens had high-level protection.
