Greek Prosecutors Tackle Cases of Tax Violations Via Task Force

Greek financial prosecutors have managed to tackle well over 427 serious cases of tax evasion and cases of money laundering, thanks to assistance that was provided to them by the Task Force, which has been headed by (Germany's own) Horst Reichenbach.

A report in To Vima claims that the Task Force helped Greek authorities to investigate some 2,628 cases of suspected tax violations, with prosecutors managing to seize assets that are way beyond 205 million Euros, and that stemmed from some 427 cases.

In its latest report, the Task Force claims that it managed to help improve tax administration and combat money laundering, which in turn led to an overall improvement of the domestic business environment. Parallel to this, the Task Force’s actions resulted in an increase of investment to Greece, as well as the modernization of national health care services and a gradual restriction of unemployment.

(HellasFrappe does not know why the Task Force is so excited with its achievements, because we have yet to see their successes on the real economy. We will receive this news with a grain of salt (as always), because it was published by the pro-memorandum Greek media).
