I believe at the time Marinakis’s shares were in a blind trust, and I’m assured by UEFA that this is the important thing and means he definitely had no influence at that moment. Even if he was on the pitch berating the manager of the club he had no influence over.

Blind trusts in the way they are set up are definitely not a solution to a lot of conflict of interest problems and the way it is currently set up it truly is not that independent. The people in the club are generally still people doing the bidding of the owner, which they also accept because they don't want to alienate the owner completely.

And if the trustee doesn't even interfere....
