Lagarde: Greece, Tax Evasion, Death Threats

From Greek Reporter

"When asked about Greece, she appeared hasty to move to other subjects. Lagarde only commented on taxation in Greece and raised the burning issue of tax evasion. When asked about past comments regarding tax evasion by the wealthy Greeks, she said: “I better not say too much because, you know, when I have talked about Greece and its taxes before, I got death threats and we had to increase security,” adding, “but is the shipping industry really paying its taxes? Are others? I don’t think so".

Developments, Kathimerini:

"A Supreme Court prosecutor has ordered a probe into claims by International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde and SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras that they received death threats for speaking out on tax evasion, Kathimerini understands".
