Papaemmanouil speaks fluent English and good Italian, and can handle prisoners in Turkish. He resigned with the rank of Brigadier during the crises of 1997, disgruntled by the decisions of the corrupt Defence Minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos, who was found guilty on all charges in 2013 for his involvement in financial scandals.
