Liapis faces charges of false statement and forgery - For two years he drove around with fake plates - Funny excuses that he was moving the car to fill its batteries
Reportedly former Minister Michalis Liapis is "very distressed" awaiting his trial. His case did not start today but got postponed for December 30, 2013.
The former minister who was arrested in Loutsa driving a VW Touareg with fake license plates (had filed the original plates in the IRS two years ago), without insurance and even made a series of Traffic Code infringements, did not come to court citing an older health problem. His lawyer did not speak to the reporters.
Liapis is facing a misdemeanor prosecution for false statement and forgery as on one hand he had stated to the IRS that he would not move the car and on the other the car bore fake license plates. He also received an administrative fine of 500 euros for the fact that the vehicle was uninsured and he was asked to pay a fine for tinted windows that had been installed without a permit and for the hitch on the back of the car.
He was driving around for two years with fake license plates
According to information, Liapis, who was arrested Tuesday by police in Loutsa and apart from fake plates was driving a car without insurance and without a driver’s license, had filed to the tax authorities the original plates in November 2011, which means he had paid traffic taxes in the last two years.
Police are now investigating the case and the evidence so far shows that the excuses of the former minister, that he put on fake plates to ‘drive the car around so as not to drop its battery’ are incorrect. Asked where he found the fake plates, Liapis simply said that last August he filed the original ones for economic reasons.
