Prosecutor Wants Papaconstantinou On Trial
ATHENS - A Greek prosecutor has asked for former finance minister George Papaconstantinou, accused by Parliament of breach of duty and wrongdoing in the mishandling of a list of Greeks with secret Swiss bank accounts, to be put on trial.
Papaconstantinou, who served under then-Premier and previous PASOK Socialist leader George Papandreou from 2009-11, has denied all the charges and said he?s being made a scapegoat for the country?s crushing economic crisis.
A special council of senior judges will decide whether the trial should take place but no date has yet been set. Papaconstantinou was charged after the names of three of his relatives were somehow erased from the list of 2,062 Greeks with $1.95 billion in the Geneva branch of HSBC.
