Today, Tuesday 15/10, the five arrested in Corfu in the case of extortion at the island’s tax office are being acquitted.
The deputy director of the tax office of Corfu, who is considered to be the mastermind of the spiral, is charged with all the charges, which in some cases also fall on the other four arrested, for the case of extortion, bribery and financing.
Information indicates that at least one more accountant has been summoned to testify, and that in the coming days other employees and professionals may be summoned to cross the threshold of the investigator.
The deputy director had complete control over the operation of the criminal organization: he determined the money they would demand from the businessmen they extorted and divided it between him and his accomplices.
The dialogues
The dialogues between the accused were cynical.
Deputy Director: We have to slowly launch our affairs. Remind me… who is this f***’s accountant? The B….?
Controller: Him… he’s talking to.
Deputy Director: Have a conversation. Tell him, if you want to get rid of time now we can help. You know something, incognito, tell him, the schedules are coming out for who will be checked by wave. We can put other cases before you and your case will be barred.
A cache was found in the tax inspector’s house in the door frame, inside which he had hidden 7,450 euros, which are estimated to come from the organization’s illegal activity.
In his conversation with the deputy manager, it becomes clear that they were blackmailing businessmen and accountants.
Yesterday, an order was given to suspend the tax officials involved from their duties and the process began to put them on potential holiday.
