Papakonstantinou is charged with tampering with an official State document as well as an attempted breach of faith. It should be reminded that Papakonstantinou was charged with tampering with the Lagarde list, which contains the names of more than 2,000 Greeks -and suspected tax evaders- with cash deposits at a Geneva branch of HSBC in an effort to remove the names of three of his relatives.
Reports claim that the Court might focus on the criminal liabilities of Papakonstantinou, rather than the general social, financial or political landscape.
Papakonstantinou was referred to the Special Court by the Supreme Court’s Judicial Council.
The 'Lagarde list' is an electronic file that was sent to the Greek finance ministry by French authorities several years ago, containing the names of wealthy Greeks with sizable deposits in the Geneva-based branch of HSBC. It was received when Papakonstantinou was finance minister, under the (very controversial) George Papandreou government.
