Good news, a new National Action Plan on Corruption is expected to be presented to Prime Minister Antonis Samaras soon by Justice Ministry General Secretary for Transparency and Human Rights George Sourlas, who is expected to take over as national coordinator.
The action plan, according to a dispatch from the state news agency, specifically focuses on reducing the red tape surrounding the seizure of funds arising from illegal activities, such as money laundering or drug trafficking and to decrease the amount of time needed for this money to be available for use by state coffers after it is proved to be income from criminal activity.
Already a working committee has already been set up within the framework of the Court of Audit to coordinate the efforts of the bodies seeking the simplification of these procedures. The committee is also going to use the know-how of other European countries and the assistance of the Task Force for Greece to meet these goals.
