Vasilis Lampropoulos reported on an ongoing tax evasion investigation in Thessaloniki, noting the case appears to be of extraordinary scale. The investigation, which began approximately one and a half to two years ago, reportedly involves between 80% and 90% of major dining and entertainment venues in the affected areas of Thessaloniki and Halkidiki. The scheme allegedly involved businesspeople coordinating with accountants and lawyers to use thousands of straw men to obscure ownerships.
