history
MIG was founded in 1998 by medium-sized investors as Marfin Financial Group SA under the leadership of Andreas Vgenopoulos (born January 4, 1953). In 2001 it was renamed Marfin Investment Group Holdings SA . In 2006, the state-owned Dubai Group took a 35% stake. MIG succeeded in acquiring and restructuring various large companies. Food companies were bought and merged into the Vivartia Group. In 2006, Vgenopoulos joined Laiki Bank and merged it with Piraeus Bank to form Marfin Popular Bank . According to the news magazine Der Spiegel , Vgenopoulos is suspected of having " contributed to the existential crisis in the whole country ". A 20% stake in the telecommunications company Hellenic Telecoms AG (OTE) was sold to Deutsche Telekom in 2008 for 2.5 billion euros .
In 2009, Marfin took over a short company from the Greek state with the assets of the previous Olympic Airlines , but not the staff, and founded Olympic Air . On October 23, 2013, Olympic Air was taken over by Aegean Airlines from the Marfin Investment Group for a total of 72 million euros and will henceforth be run as a subsidiary of Aegean.
