A famous Greek singer is under scrutiny by the prosecutor’s office and relevant authorities in connection with money laundering and tax evasion amounting to 1.5 million euros.

The financial prosecutor opened an investigation about a month ago, looking into the singer and a company he owns that is unrelated to his professional activities. It followed the findings of a longer investigation by the Anti-Money Laundering Independent Authority.

According to sources, the body has already seized the property and real estate assets after months of investigation into allegations of money laundering and tax evasion. The probe began after the singer filed suspiciously low tax forms over the past five years, declaring just €50,000 a year despite a successful career in high-society venues and clubs.

Sources say that the prosecutor’s investigation will assess the involvement of third parties in the case.

The singer’s identity has not been officially confirmed by the authorities.
