In the SwissLeaks investigation the Greek newspaper "Ta Nea" has found another 86 Greeks who were not included in the "Lagarde list" of 2,062 names that France had sent to Greece in 2010.

The investigation was carried out by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) of Le Monde newspaper and other major print and electronic media.

As stated by the newspaper, these individuals were either born in Greece or have acquired Greek citizenship, but are included in the lists of other countries, as the addresses and contact details declared by them are outside Greece.

The lists contain other Greek names, without specifying any details of the nationality or place of birth of the people, since they are associated with offshore companies, in the capacity of authorized lawyers and no data on their residence or other information have been entered.

So, 41 of the Greeks who are not on the "Lagarde list" that was sent to the Greek authorities in 2010 have deposits amounting to more than $ 1 million, and they are the following:

- One businessman who was probably operating in Belgium and Africa held deposits in 10 bank accounts, amounting to over $ 60 million in 2006-2007. His name is on the list of Israel.

- One Greek family that had declared Monaco as their place of residence held over $ 36 million in the Geneva branch of HSBC bank. The family is on the list of Monaco, not of Greece.

- One businessman in the shipping sector who was born on the island of Chios. He had also declared Monaco as his place of residence and had about $ 27.5 million. He is also on the list of Monaco.

- One construction magnate who was engaged in business in Greece but also in other countries had almost $ 10 million. The data processing performed by ICIJ has found his name on the list of Cyprus.

- One famous family of Jewish origin the members of which were born in Athens, Thessaloniki and Tel Aviv had about $ 10 million. The three family members found in the report prepared by the French authorities are on the list of Israel, not of Greece.

- One rentier born in Thessaloniki, with Jewish origin and Belgian nationality, is identified as the holder of over $ 6 million. The data processing has revealed his relation with Bermuda.

- One rentier born in Greece, holding $ 4.8 million, is found on the UK list; his name is associated with Anguilla tax havens.

- One female ship-owner from Chios is found on the list of Monaco with deposits amounting to $ 3.2 million.

As for the Greeks found in the archives that do not contain details on their nationality and place of residence, they are the following:

- Three brothers who were born in Greece and who had declared in the bank data from their Brazilian passports had deposits amounting to $ 30 million.

- One doctor who was born in Thessaloniki, also with a Brazilian passport, had deposits amounting to € 500,000.

- One client of HSBC bank with deposits of more than $ 5.5 million, who was born in Milan but declared the data of his Greek passport.
