Cyprus – are some MP’s and

party leaders tax dodgers?

After the Greek Cypriot Ministry of Finance released the statement on income tax debts of 50 natural people and legal entities, it has been clear that there are 13 MPs and party leaders among them and declaration of their names is being asked. Pointing out that there are 13 tax dodger MPs and party leaders, the Southern Cyprus Citizens Alliance demanded the list of names to be submitted. In the statement of the Citizens Alliance it has been highlighted that tax dodger people and companies names are exposed, however, the same name list is disguised when it comprises the names of MPs and party leaders.

On the other hand, Greek Cypriot Newspaper Fileleftheros stated that there are 308 Greek or South Cyprus Citizen businessmen, companies and offshore companies who are customers of HSBC Switzerland Branch on the Lagarde List and 574 million Euros in the HSBC Switzerland Branch are related to South Cyprus.
