[01] Athens City Hall to don colours of German flag for Berlin attack
victims
The Athens City Hall on Kotzias Square will be lit with the colours
of the German flag - black, red and gold - after 19:00 on Wednesday,
in a gesture of symbolic support for Berlin and the victims of the
deadly terror attack in one of the German city's Christmas markets.
[02] Newspaper publisher Stavros Psycharis to face criminal charges of
tax evasion, money-laundering
A first-instance court public prosecutor on Wednesday pressed criminal
charges against newspaper publisher Stavros Psycharis for tax evasion
and legalising income from illegal activity, to the amount of 45
million euros.
The charges against Psycharis are based on the findings of an
investigation and audit carried out by a Greek centre for the inspection
of high-net-worth tax payers (KEFOMEP), investigating his finances from
2000 until the present day. The audit revealed discrepancies in assets
and declared income amounting to roughly 45 million euros.
The case file put together following the KEFOMEP investigators' report was
forwarded to the public prosecutors' office, where Psycharis was summoned
and provided explanations in the form of a written memorandum. The case
has now been sent to an examining magistrate.
