Kotsos Out Of N.A.T.O.
Kotsos is an honest civil servant, director at the Ministry of International Agreements and Interventions, married with two children. The temptations are certainly great, as many try to bribe him, first and foremost Tom Americo, representative of the American telecommunications company, and the representatives of the Seven Sisters oil companies, but he stands firm as a rock. And when these representatives, with the full support of the corrupt Director General of the ministry, become particularly aggressive, even threatening his life and that of his family, Kotsos has had enough. But in the end, he remains undeterred, signing the sinful contracts, but with sympathetic ink, which disappears after a few hours, thus exposing his superior and all those who act against the interests of the country.
