"There is money," and it can be found on the lists of tax crimes as well as in the bank deposits of individuals whose activity has never been inspected.

As reported by the newspaper To Vima, the latest shocking cases detected by the financial prosecutors who have taken up the fight against tax evasion are astonishing.

Here are some of the most striking cases:

  • One woman declared that she was unemployed and homeless but had 97 million euro. She declared 15 million euro in three consecutive years but no one checked her.
  • One merchant declared 2.5 million euro in the period 1996-2015 and held bank deposits worth 36 million euro.
  • One housewife declared 7 million euro to the tax authorities that found 23 million euro in her bank accounts.
  • Another merchant declared 1.4 million euro but the authorities found out that he had 34 million euro.
  • One pensioner from Oreokastro declared 4 million euro in the period 1996-2007 but it was established that he had 12.1 million euro.
  • One popular family (father, mother and two daughters) declared a total of 5 million euro but their joint account amounted to 60 million euro.
  • One person without occupation declared 10 million euro in 2007 but 40 million euro were detected in his bank accounts.
  • One pharmacist from Athens declared 1 million euro but 10 million euro were established in his bank deposit.
  • One housewife declared an income of 35,000 euro but the amount established in her bank account was 7 million euro.
  • Two brothers, employees in a private company, declared 10 million euro but the authorities established that they had 18 million euro in their joint account.
  • A woman with an unusual profession tried to explain how she had obtained the 18 million euro found in her bank accounts.

These findings and the mass checks carried out by the financial prosecutors are leading to an equally mass seizure of assets, such as real estate, bank accounts and bank safes.

The latest seizure took place a few days ago and involved a known businessman who was called to explain the origin of a solid amount of millions of euro found in his bank account. The first such decision was issued on 9 January 2015.
