Unfortunately it is.

I'd recommend you a "not so old" song called "Good morning Greece" (Kalhmera Ellada). Where the author (in 2006) charges against politicians saying that they "put what is left in Switzerland".

It is something that everybody knows. But for some reason, even you reject it. Whenever there is a scandal in Greece, there is a Swiss account there. Stolen money? Bribes? Only offshore companies are not all Swiss.

Anyway, why would a "normal citizen" like "a politician" would open a bank account outside of the reach of the European union? There is no need.

The list also contains amounts, that weren't published to avoid "problems". That list was to be used, not to be published, but after almost 3 years with no use. There you have the list of names.

Nothing will happen. They will get their revenge from the journalist, will make his life hell. The IRS won't investigate anything: they didn't do it before, they won't do it now. Ant the country will continue its free fall.

"The summary is definitely a troll" - Love that strategy of repeating non-sense till people believe it. Keep repeating.

The Greek IRS has published other "name lists" and nobody has detained anyone in the government. It's a game used by the IRS to "make you pay", because "perhaps" your name wasn't in the names published but will be in the next batch.

Nothing happened, no detentions.

At the same time, there was a person guilty of tax evasion. He had to go to jail, but he was living in a high class hotel in Athens during "5 years" because the police couldn't locate him. Till a newspaper published the case. So 5 years to catch a convict living in a hotel in the center of Athens, 11 hours to detain someone for something legal. Or at least in the border of legal/illegal. (Think a bit about it)

And do not forget some politicians bragged of having that list and "not looking at the contents". No detentions there too.

Beware.

People should do their job in order to make them look good. Do not lie just to make everyone happy.

And if you lead a team, you cannot ignore when someone is doing something wrong, saying something that is wrong, and making the same mistake again and again.

Yes, offer advice, but real world can be dirty. Get ready to get your hands dirty and make someone not look so good.

Also the lady understood that a flash "far away" was something unusual for that webcam. This means that our lady was an "addict" of that video feed and was able to understand in a blink what is usual and what is not usual.

Greece 3 years ago. A guy put a link to an article that was making fun of a politician. Due to the article being hosted in the US (and the author too), the politician decided to destroy a bit the life of the guy who put an "automatic link via an RSS" feed. Funny? no for the poor guy.

This politician destroyed his life and his business with lawsuits.Using his influences in order to take measures against him that are just not normal.

Laws for cameras in the streets are not followed and of course you need an ID. Laws depend on the money you can give to counter them. Police can order you to stop your car just to ask "where did you get these fancy lights for your car? I want them too".

Generally speaking: people is nice, there is work to do, money flows, food is good, weather is warm and you can visit the islands to relax and disconnect :)
