Former Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou denied accusations that he removed relatives’ names from a list of about 2,000 Greeks with deposits in Swiss banks.
The so-called “Lagarde list” is an electronic file of Greeks with Swiss bank accounts that was given to Greece in 2010 by then-French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde. Handling of the list has drawn criticism from opposition parties and lawmakers in Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’s three-party governing coalition.
