| Subject: Good news: Greek ex-minister Papaconstantinou faces tax probe Thu Jan 17, 2013 8:57 pm | |
| 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.
But MPS voted against extending the probe to another ex-finance minister, Evangelos Venizelos, and former PMs Lucas Papademos and George Papandreou.
The scandal centres on a list of names, provided in 2010 to the Greek government by then French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde, who is now head of the IMF.
