Greek ex-minister Papaconstantinou faces tax probe

Greek MPS have voted to launch a criminal investigation into ex-Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou.

He is accused of tampering with a list of suspected tax evaders with Swiss bank accounts.

Three of Mr Papaconstantinou's relatives were removed from the list. He has denied involvement.

I wonder if he ascribed to that new, all financial irregularities are just minor accounting errors and only require more public funds to rectify them, theory of fiscal management that's become so popular in certain areas of Canada.

Corruption is endemic in Greece. Odds are that at least half of the people involved in the investigation are also evading 100% of their income tax obligations.

Oh it's better; the boys giving the money out are the ones stealing it.
