Revealing is the dialogue of the members of the circle of corrupt tax officials at DOU Chalkida who extorted money from businessmen and individuals for tax issues. Only in the last quarter they had managed to collect 100,000 euros with the “tariff” reaching up to 30,000 euros.

What the members of the circle were saying

DIRECTOR OF D.O.Y.: X has 75,000 in the bank now, we opened the accounts.

ACCOUNTANT: How much does he have?

DIRECTOR OF D.O.Y.: 75

ACCOUNTANT: Oh, he has pennies.

DIRECTOR OF D.O.Y.: He has pennies.

ACCOUNTANT: And 600 where will he get?

DIRECTOR OF D.O.Y.: Yes it has.

ACCOUNTANT: Should we take the case?

DIRECTOR OF D.O.Y.: I do not know. That’s why I still keep it.

What does the principal write in her notebook?

Alongside, SKAI publishes photos from the director’s handwritten notebook that was found during the operation of the “Corrupt” in her home. As it seems the notebook has names and according to the “Incorruptors” the amounts he took from each. In fact, in some names, the word “gift” is written next to it, so it is understood that in addition to money, the members of the ring had other benefits.

The 4 men arrested for the case with the DOU of Chalkida are detained at the Evia Police Department, while the women who were arrested were taken to the Dirfyon-Messapion Police Station. They will be detained until tomorrow, when they will be brought back to the investigator to give their statement, as they requested and received a deadline.

Until this time 17 are the cases that have been resolvedwhile it is recalled that the police operation carried out by Internal Affairs on Tuesday at noon was large.

How the circuit worked

As the report states, the leader is the 50-year-old supervisor. She allegedly collected information on the prospective targets with the biggest tax outstandings, which also raised the “extortion fee”. In fact, she herself distributed the money they received to the other members.

The Department of Internal Affairs has “raised” the entire relevant file of the cases of the DOU of Chalkida and a number of photocopies of tax cases found in the defendants’ homes.

The 67-year-old responsible for providing tax information was also said to have played an important rolewhich due to impending retirement operated autonomously in demanding the money and in fact the rest of the members of the circle planned its gradual removal because they considered that they were “taking dangerous risks”.

Next is the 56-year-old tax case manager who was a direct associate of the leader of the criminal organization in identifying the best cases with tax outstandings that would “increase” and processing requirements.

Subsequently, there is 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 head of auditsas well as 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.

THE “tariff” it was from 5,000-30,000 for:

  • Tax return
  • Reduction or cancellation of fines
  • Failure to perform checks

Illegal income:

  • €100,000 in 3 months from 17 entrepreneurs

Persuasions:

  • €80,000 in the house of the director of the D.O.Y.
  • Notebook with names and amounts from 250 euros to 11,000 euros from November 2020 to May 2024
  • Phone connection-ghost of the director of D.O.Y.

During her introduction, the director argued that she had been put on the circuit by the person responsible for granting tax information and the operator for an extra income as she was told.
