Ioannis Ladas
Ioannis Ladas () (1920 – 16 October 2010) was a member of the Greek military junta of 1967–1974. He was born and raised in the village of Dirahi, Arcadia. In 1940, he graduated from the Hellenic Military Academy along with George Papadopoulos and Nikolaos Makarezos. He fought, as an officer, in the Greco-Italian War of 1940. In the mid 1960s, Ladas had been associated with a small, far-right 4th of August Party, and contributed many articles to the party's journal, which the British historian Richard Clogg called a "racist and anti-Semitic" magazine which glorified not only the 4th of August Regime, but also the Third Reich.

He first served in the resulting regime as general secretary in the ministries of public order and tourism. In the summer of 1968, L ...

The Greek Military Police ( el, Ελληνική Στρατιωτική Αστυνομία), generally known in Greek by the acronym ESA ( el, ΕΣΑ), was the military police branch of the Hellenic Army in the years 1951–1974. It developed into a powerful paramilitary organization and a stronghold of right-wing, conservative Army officers. It became the main security (secret police) and intelligence organization during the Greek military junta of 1967–1974. After the fall of the junta and the restoration of democracy in 1974, it was disbanded because of its brutal practices, which included the widespread use of torture. Since 1974, the Hellenic Army maintains a military police section called Stratonomia (), but its powers are far less extensive than those of ESA.
