Data of Cypriot tax evaders in other databases

In addition to the Bourgeois, Lagarde and Panama Papers lists, according to SIGMA, there is a wealth of other information on Cypriot tax evaders in other databases.

Specifically, there are data of Cypriot interest in the evidence collected by Legal Services, in the archives of tax departments, but also in the data of independent groups of researchers abroad.

These are countries that have investigated or are investigating one or all of the three aforementioned global tax evasion scandals. Thus, the thread of their investigation may have reached additional elements of Cypriot interest, which are not in the initial-raw lists.

It is recalled the report of the head of the global investigation for the Panama documents, Gerard Rile, on April 16, he said that during the investigation he constantly meets the name of Cyprus, meaning suspicious natural and legal persons.

Therefore, there is evidence of "Cypriot stench" in many tanks.

She obviously knows that the exchange of information is coming, but she does not stay there alone, as she may have given 10 million euros, but she got data that will bring her billions that slipped from the tax and ended up somewhere in Panama.
