The factory of corruption in D.O.Y. Chalkidas, according to the officers of the Internal Affairs Service of the Security Forces, had an organized structure. The leader is the 50-year-old supervisor. She collected information on the prospective targets with the biggest tax arrears, which also raised the “extortion fee”. In fact, she herself distributed the money they received to the other members.

An important role was also played by the 67-year-old responsible for granting tax information, who, due to her impending retirement, operated autonomously in demanding the money and they even planned her gradual removal because they were taking dangerous risks. Next is the 56-year-old tax case handler who was a direct associate of the leader of the criminal organization in identifying the best cases with tax outstandings that would “grow” and processing requirements. Then the 62-year-old accountant who even had a position in the chamber of Evia. He was aware of the tax outstandings of businesses and individuals, so he informed the leader about it and was one of the key links in the subgroup that had been created, talking directly to the leader of the organization.

A key role was also played by the 52-year-old deputy of the D.O.Y. who was the head of audits and also the 54-year-old head of revenue while there is also an employee who worked with 4 accountants for entrepreneurs who had high tax outstandings.
