Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:50:01 +0100 (Reuters) - Cypriot-born abbot Efraim is transferred to Korydallos prison near Athens December 28, 2011. The abbot of one of Greece's richest and most powerful monasteries went to jail on Wednesday awaiting trial for hoodwinking the government in a high-profile land swap deal six years ago. Efraim, 56, chief of the Vatopedi Monastery at the monastic community of Mount Athos, is accused of inciting officials to commit acts of fraud, perjury and money-laundering, a charge that can fetch him a jail term of several years.
