Second lawsuit filed against Varoufakis over 'Plan B' revelations
A second lawsuit was filed against former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis on Tuesday over the recent press revelations concerning a 'Plan B' that involved hacking tax office software to create a parallel payments system in the case that Greece exited or was forced out of the euro.
The lawsuit filed with the Supreme Court public prosecutor by Athens lawyer Panagiotis Giannopoulos is against Varoufakis and any other person involved in the former minister's plan, with Giannopoulos asking justice to investigate whether Varoufakis was guilty of violating the privacy of personal data to a criminal degree.
Lawsuits against the individuals not in political office involved in the affair were also filed by another five Athens lawyers in the Athens bar association, the lawyer Antonis Gontzas and the president of the Young Lawyers' Union Kyriaki Stamadianou.
The lawyers ask that justice investigate whether these individuals have committed offences related to privacy of personal data violations, state secrets, breach of duty and whether they constitute a criminal organisation.
They also ask for an investigation into whether there have been a breach of laws on currency and attempted counterfeiting of money.
