New York Times:  In Greece, Taking Aim At Wealthy Tax Dodgers:

As controversy swirls around the failure of
former Greek finance ministers to investigate a list of 2,000 suspected
tax dodgers, the current government in Athens is taking a hard look at
the foreign assets of those people and thousands of others.

In recent weeks, tax experts at Greece’s finance ministry have been
scrutinizing the finances of about 15,000 Greeks to see if money they
have sent abroad in the past three years — about $5 billion in all —
exceeds the declared wealth on their tax returns, government officials
say.

The government of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is intent on cracking
down on wealthy tax evaders as it tries to quell mounting public anger
over a slate of austerity measures that the Greek Parliament last week
passed by a thin margin.
