O mais interessante da notícia reside na circunstância de os gregos terem descoberto o pote do dinheiro escondido. Novamente, por cá, nunca se descobrem estas coisas. As offshores e assim são casos da vida privada. Por cá, simplesmente não há políticos corruptos. Há apenas quem venda cabritos sem cabras ter.
Tsohatzopoulos nearly became prime minister in 1996, when he was narrowly defeated in an internal party vote to become chairman of the then ruling Socialist PASOK party.
Since quitting politics in 2009, he has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in a string of affairs investigated by prosecutors, including the use of offshore companies to buy his Athens mansion and the sale of German submarines to Greece.
In 2011, PASOK expelled Tsohatzopoulos after lawmakers asked that he be indicted in connection with the submarine procurement deal with German firm Ferrostaal.
Sources quoted by Greek media said that the court had identified cash payments to then-defence minister Tsohatzopoulos from Ferrostaal, allegedly to ensure that it would win a contract for the purchase of four submarines in 2000.
The sum he received is estimated at €8 million, deposited in a Swiss bank.
