Greek journalist in limbo over Swiss bank leaks

“The document contains the names of more than 2,000 wealthy Greek HSBC bank account holders in Switzerland and was used to pursue suspected tax evaders. It was originally leaked by an HSBC employee in Geneva and passed to Greece in 2010 by France’s then finance minister Christine Lagarde, who now heads the International Monetary Fund.  Greek authorities treated it as stolen data and failed to pursue the case.  The 46-year-old was acquitted in November but a retrial was ordered after the prosecutor said there were ‘legal faults’ in the original verdict.  George Papaconstantinou is accused of tampering with the ‘Lagarde list’ by deleting the names of three of his relatives from the list.”
