Kyriakos Mitsotakis: The slogan "lawfulness everywhere" becomes a reality in everyday life
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasizes the government's commitment to lawfulness and recent successes in combating tax fraud and organized crime in Greece.
In a recent social media post, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis highlighted the Greek government's accomplishments in enforcing lawfulness in everyday life, emphasizing that the motto "Lawfulness Everywhere" is being realized in various areas, including urban streets, neighborhoods, universities, and economic activities. He pointed out that the ongoing struggle against delinquency and impunity is a key focus for his administration, demonstrating a commitment to improving public order and safety.
Mitsotakis detailed some notable successes in this fight, including the dismantling of a fraudulent network by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE), which involved hundreds of 'straw men' embezzling 43 million euros from the public treasury and social security funds. The Prime Minister underscored that this money could have been used for enhancing public services such as hospitals and schools, rather than lining the pockets of criminal gangs.
Additionally, the Prime Minister reported that the Hellenic Police had identified a large criminal organization engaged in the illicit production and distribution of tobacco products, which had the operational capacity to function both in Greece and abroad. This revelation highlights the scope and scale of organized crime within the country, reinforcing the government's dedication to combating such threats and ensuring public safety.
