Economy, Development and Tourism Minister Giorgos Stathakis admitted that he is the minister who forgot to declare assets of 1 million euros.

The three wealth statements submitted to parliament are absolutely complete and no data is hidden, he told ANA-MPA on Thursday, commenting on the turmoil caused by an ongoing investigation into the wealth statements submitted by two members of the government.

“In June 2012 I was elected MP and submitted a wealth statement in September which may had been incomplete and premature. On the contrary the statement I submitted in September 2013 was complete and included all the additional information along with the amount in question,” Mr. Stathakis said.

“The wealth statement of 2014 was just as complete. Although the issue had concluded with the two statements, when I took over as minister I considered appropriate – although it was redundant – to submit an additional statement in March 2015 which concerns exclusively the statement of 2012 and just repeats the information submitted the next year,” he added.

“Therefore, I never concealed any information and my three statements are complete and will be judged by the Committee,” he concluded.
