Tax evasion 'safari' in well-known Greek tourist spots continues to snag major violators

One well-known taverna on Paros was cited for failing to issue 36 receipts worth 6.500 euros. The establishment was later sealed by inspectors from the newly created and memorandum-mandated Independent Authority for Public Revenues.

The closure order extends for 10 days.

Another even more egregious example came on jet-setting Mykonos, where an upscale restaurant was cited for failing to issue 65 receipts worth 24,000 euros.

It's noteworthy that tax inspectors monitored the aforementioned establishments for only a few days, or even a day, according to reports.

Police are investigating allegations of racism against a group of men who wore black face paint when they dressed as members of the Jamaican bobsleigh team for a carnival parade.

The men received a warm reception from some spectators, but a complaint was made to the police and the Dyfed-Powys force confirmed it was looking at the men’s actions.

A police spokeswoman said: “Dyfed-Powys police received a report of a perceived hate incident, which occurred at Aberaeron carnival on Monday, August 28. An entry to the carnival parade was considered racist. Inquiries are being made by local officers.”

Dinah Mulholland, the Labour candidate for Ceredigion in the June general election, said on Facebook: “Utterly horrified to see this from Aberaeron carnival. How on earth could this have been considered acceptable, or even legal, by the carnival organisers?”

But a local man, Luke Summerfield, said: “So are we now living in an era where we can’t dress up as our favourite movie characters? You are creating more of a problem instead of living in harmony.”
