“No special treatment” is desired by the well-known artist whose property was frozen for tax evasion, as his lawyer told the , Michalis Dimitrakopoulos.

“What applies to all Greeks also applies to him. From then on, he expresses his regret because his accounts were frozen and he cannot withdraw even 1 euro. For the needs of his family, his partners, he has to borrow,” said his lawyer and added that the artist himself does not know the reason for this. “The principle against laundering works in this way for all Greeks. This is how it should have been done to this particular person”, he said and added “after you have confiscated the account as a precaution, you must call him to give you an explanation”

Also, Mr. Dimitrakopoulos reiterated that they still do not know “Why this final solution was made”.

With reference to the element that was leaked and concerns that the well-known artist declared 50,000 euros to the tax office, his lawyer argued that wherever the leak came from, it is “deliberate misinformation that does not correspond to reality. The only thing that corresponds to reality is that for some period, he had 50,000 euros of income but the reason is explained. In all subsequent periods the income was very large.”

Finally, his lawyer argued that the artist has been checked by all tax mechanisms and pays taxes. “He is the most tax-paying citizen in our country and he does not know why the commitment was made. We are ready on Monday to go to the District Attorney’s Office to ask for the investigation to be carried out as a matter of priority. Once we know the reason, we have all the evidence to deal with the situation.”
