The Kouvelos - Bakogianni case goes to court

The members of the parliamentary audit committee for property statements have decided to take the case of Bakoynni-Kouvelos to court.

The committee concluded the relevant findings which describe the offenses committed by Isidore Kouvelos when completing his property statement, with special reference to the fact that he failed to declare the amount of 1 million U.S. dollars and its destination account in London.

The report will be sent to the relevant Appeals prosecutor, who will begin a new investigation to determine where the 1 million dollars comes from, what is the origin of the undeclared account in London and if the amount was used for buying a share in a ship or whether it is a "ghost ship."

Furthermore, the auditors presented to the committee members early results from the inspections of the famous list of the ministry of Finance, which includes about 30 politicians and their relatives who sent remittances abroad of more than 100,000 euros.

The first inspections in at least 15 cases show no apparent violation of the relevant laws. That is, all banking transactions are recorded in the property statements, while the amounts “exported” are justified by the financial situation of the “exporters”.

The auditors will present the results of the investigation they carried out to the other people on the relevant list within the week.
