A Greek MP deposited 1 mil euros abroad

The president of the Authority for Money Laundering, Panagiotis Nikoloudis, leveled the grave accusation that a Greek MP deposited 1 million euros abroad during the dramatic May of 2011.

Speaking to the parliamentary Committee for Institutions and Transparency, Nikoloudis said: "I must say without any hesitation, that through inspections that are neither fully exhaustive nor random, and are about which people, which social classes, took their money out of the market or took it abroad, from what we refer to as the political world, I noticed one male or female who took 1 million euros abroad during last year's dramatic May. It is a case of one in 300 and it does not mean anything by itself. To take your money abroad is not a sin, it is not illegal in the formal sense of the law, but for me it is indicative."
