Greek taxpayers have recently learned that millions of euros were illegally paid out of Siemens's coffers.
Citizens who pay their taxes and still live in fear of the tax authorities have a right to ask if and when any investigation will be conducted into the extremely serious violations of the tax code committed by the German electronics giant, the company's former managing director in Greece Michalis Christoforakos, the firm's other executives, PASOK's Theodoros Tsoukatos and indeed anyone else directly or indirectly involved in unlawful, undeclared «funding.»
