Tax Evasion Investigation – What Does the Famous Singer Say?

Responding to the authorities’ investigation into the possibility of this happening Tax evasion The publication of the case in the press is presented by his lawyers Stathis Bakalis and Michaelis Dimitrakopoulou, a well-known singer.

“I have learned with regret and reasonable concern that the Anti-Money Laundering Authority has seized all my movable and immovable assets because I may have committed a tax evasion crime. I feel sorry as a result of a secret procedural process that was illegally leaked to the media, thus exposing me. My question is that I have not been summoned by the higher authority to provide clarifications and provide evidence proving that I have not committed any tax evasion. I look forward to receiving an immediate call to find out what is attributed to me, so that I can get rid of any criticism against me,” the singer said in a press statement.

Earlier, the Athens News Agency reported that the financial prosecutor had ordered an investigation into “a major economic tax evasion and money laundering operation” at the expense of a well-known singer.

The reason for the investigation conducted by the Public Prosecution, which began about a month ago, is what the Anti-Money Laundering Authority has found, which records specific information about the artist, especially about a company he founded in a certain body. Which is not related to his professional activity.

Based on reports, The Anti-Money Laundering Commission began seizing the singer’s movable and immovable assets. After months of investigations that resulted in suspicions of tax evasion and money laundering, amounting to 1.5 million euros. Thus, the commitments undertaken by the independent body concern real estate, mobile phones, personal accounts of the artist and the company concerned, boats and safes which, if identified, will be frozen for an amount of up to 1.5 million euros.

In the Commission’s conclusion, which now constitutes the first article of the Public Prosecution’s investigation, It seems that widespread reference has been made to the singer’s tax returns for the past five years, in which he declared an annual income of around 50,000 euros.In fact, this amount appears to be the reason the Authority targeted the artist, considering it particularly low due to his immense popularity and appearances at widely known and particularly “secular” venues and events.

According to the information, the investigation conducted by the Financial Prosecution will not be limited to the singer, but the prosecution will also target other people close to the artist under investigation.
