Hector Tsironikos (Greek Ector Tsironikos Έκτωρ Τσιρονίοος, * 1882 in Arachova, † 1964 in Athens) was a Greek entrepreneur and right-wing politician. BiographyChange source
Tsironikos grew up in Arachova and moved to Rostov in Russia in 1903, where he worked as a dealer. After the October Revolution, he moved to Constantinople and then to Brussels, where from 1934 he worked as an economic attache for the Greek Embassy. In 1940 he moved to Greece, where he held various offices under German occupation. Since his "German friendliness was beyond doubt", Hermann Neubacher, appointed him as finance and superminiister over all "productive resorts". In 1944, he founded the "εξόριστης δωσιλογικής εν Βιέννη ελληνικής κυβέρνησης", a kind of national socialist exile government in Greece.
Tsironikos was condemned to death on May 31, 1945 in his absence. He was arrested by US-Americans in the same year and brought to Greece in 1947. On 3 April 1952 he was pardoned by the Greek state. Tsironikos died in 1964 in an Athenian retirement home. Single-level Edit source text
