What is happening

What the sources report

A tax fraud and black money laundering ring is reportedly been set up by the 57-year-old owner of the 'Choriatiko' bakery chain.[1]

According to the investigation, the organisation ran more than 433 businesses in Attica, Mykonos, Rhodes and other areas.[1]

The case file of the Directorate for Combating Organised Crime includes 149 individuals.[1]

The conversations recorded by the Hellenic Police bug reveal contacts between two members of the ring and two senior public officials, one from the tax office and one from EFKA, for favours called “dorakia.”[1]

Two police officers are reportedly involved in the ring; one is reported to have informed about raids and the second to have received 1,500 euros.[1]

Where they differ

On the damage to the State, Real News writes that it is estimated at 95.5 million euros, while ERT News reports that it exceeds 25 million euros over multi-year activity.[2][1]

On the number of public officials, ERT News writes about two senior public officials, while INK reports that the material refers to seven public officials.[3][1]
