Varoufakis submits document on Siemens scandal

Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis underlined the political, moral and legal commitment of the Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) government to shed light on the Siemens scandal in a document he submitted to Greek Parliament. The document was submitted in response to a question submitted by Independent Greeks (ANEL) deputy Nikos Nikolopoulos regarding the out-of-court settlement with Siemens.

Background
