Papantoniou And Doukas To Face Justice on False Income Statements


Former PASOK party minister Giannos Papantoniou would have to appear before ordinary courts, indicted by deputies of the Parliamentary Committee on Party and MPs Finances, for untruthful statement of assets. Papantoniou is being probed on concealing - in his "origin of income" statement - his wife Stavroula Kourakou's Swiss deposits of 1.3 million euros, shown in the so-called "Lagarde list" containing details of just over 2,000 HSBC Swiss bank accounts held by Greek citizens. The committee was not convinced by the former minister's explanations that he was not informed about his wife's move. In addition, a finance public prosecutor has ordered that all of his bank accounts be investigated.

The committee says it also scrutinized New Democracy former minister Petros Dukas' "origin of income" (pothen esches) statement, as his 2010 bank deposits appear to have shrunk by one million euros without adequate clarification. Dukas insists that the amount has been re-deposited into an investment account, declared in his income statement. Although the committee appears to have been convinced by his explanation, his file will be sent to a public prosecutor for final judgment.  (AMNA)
