Greece’s Public Prosecutor’s Office issued an arrest warrant against Greek businessman Angelos Metaxas, known for his profitable spirit enterprise, regarding the “Lagarde List” case as he did not respond to the authorities’ call to join the debt settlement measure that allows for overdue debt to be paid off in 100 installments. Metaxas was prosecuted for the felonies of tax evasion and money laundering, facing even life in prison sentence. The case concerns the amount of around 10.5 million euros that was found in Metaxas’ account, after an investigation was carried out in response to the well-known “Lagarde List” that revealed deposits of over 2,000 Greeks at the HSBC Geneva branch. The file against him lays in the hands of the judge who also handles a second case against the Greek businessman about funds amounting to approximately 4 million euros. Metaxas is also reported to have been involved in an intricate grid of off-shore companies, securing the amount of around 550 million euros at HSBC Geneva.
