Greece's aggressive pursuit of suspected tax evaders has gotten a significant boost. Auditors now have full access to bank information on 1.2 million wealthy Greeks. But their investigation could take a while.

In total, investigators will be combing through 43 billion euros worth of deposits.

That task has been made no less daunting by the fact that Athens only put six auditors on the job. At its current capacity, the taxmen may need up to 15 years to finish the job, according to a Finance Ministry official who spoke to the German news agency dpa.

When it comes to cracking down on suspected tax evaders, the Greeks have been known to drag their feet.

The Greek government with a new legislative amendment aims to promote the use of electric cars in Greece.

The amendment will regulate the operation of recharging facilities. The Environment and Energy Minister Yiannis Maniatis believes that the use of electric cars will benefit the Greek economy.

According to EU directives, Greece should have 13,000 electric vehicle charging stations by the end of 2020.
