Prosecutors investigating tax evaders raid UBS offices in Athens




Financial prosecutors raided on UBS in Athens on Friday and turned up 200 depositors whose names were on a list sent by German authorities as part of the so-called North Rhine-Westphalia investigation to combat tax evasion.

Germany provided Greek authorities with information on suspected tax evaders in an effort to help Athens meet its commitment to international creditors to crack down on tax evasion. The prosecutors seized computer hard drives and files from the investment bank.

According to sources, the prosecutors identified 200 suspicious accounts, containing deposits ranging from 1.5 to 12 million euros.
