Kostas Vaxevanis Vs EU Maffia

Kostas Vaxevanis Vs EU Maffia

Kostas Vaxevanis, a Greek investigative journalist, was arrested after publishing a list of names of more than 2,000 Greeks with Swiss bank accounts held by none other than HSBC bank, the same banking institution that the American government found to be involved in money laundering activities carried out by drug-traffickers.

The speedy reaction of the Greek government that accuses Kostas Vaxevanis of 'breach of privacy' unequivocally suggests that it is an official attempt to protect prominent businessmen and politicians at a time when Greece is syphoning billions of pounds as financial aid.

I would suggest that before any more money is given to Greece, all bank accounts belonging to members of the Greek government and its associates should be checked and verified to prove that there are no criminal links.
