Here’s another 1.3 million pounds ($2 million) Greece owes: Its embassy in London has racked up 11,420 unpaid fines on its vehicles, the U.K. Foreign Office revealed Thursday. One consolation: the Germans owe more.
The fines, accumulated between 2003 and the end of last year, are for the Greek diplomatic mission failing to pay the congestion charge, a fee levied on most cars and trucks being driven in central London between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m Monday to Friday.
