Since the publication of a report yesterday, accusing Alternate Minister for Administrative Reform George Katrougalos of taking advantage of his post to rehire former clients of his, from when he was working as a lawyer, Greece’s political scene is in turmoil.

The article claimed that Katrougalos, who worked as a lawyer for a private firm before he became minister, signed just before the elections private agreements with civil servants who had been laid off by the previous government. These contracts stipulated that he would receive a 12% commission of the gross amount which would be awarded to his clients by court, in case of reinstatement.

As always, the online edition of German newspaper Bild rushed to comment on the Greek affairs in an article titled “A corruption scandal in Tsipras’ incorruptible government.”

Dripping with sarcasm, the article reports all the details of the case and states that the new developments are likely to keep Alexis Tsipras’s government very busy in the following days.
