After testifying before the examining magistrates handling corruption cases, the former head of the SDOE financial crimes squad Ioannis Diotis was released on Wednesday without any conditions.
Ioannis Diotis faces two charges related to the so-called Lagarde list case. More specifically, he is accused of not making use of data included in the Lagarde list.
The Lagarde list is a spreadsheet containing roughly 2,000 potential tax evaders with undeclared accounts at Swiss HSBC bank’s Geneva branch. It is named after former French finance minister Christine Lagarde, who in October 2010 passed it on to Greek officials to help them crack down on tax evasion.
