The same sources refer to the post made by Mr. Kasselakis on the matter on February 23, where he stated that “I will be informed immediately by my lawyers if the law applies to parliamentary party leaders, who are not allowed to be owners of foreign companies”. . “I, as is well known, am not an MP. As far as the law concerns me, I will sell the companies I have abroad”, said the President of SYRIZA.
According to the same sources, there was a dichotomy whether as an extra-parliamentary he had the same obligations. However, since this was clarified, Mr. Kasselakis immediately transfers the shares, a process that is now underway, as they emphasize.
Also, the President of SYRIZA PS did not mislead anyone, because the tax returns for 2023 have not yet been completed, the same sources explain. In fact, the platform of Pothen esches has not even been opened, as the extension for the year 2022 is still valid, whenever Mr. Kasselakis was in America and had nothing to do with the Greek political scene.
As, after all, party sources note, Stefanos Kasselakis from the beginning, when he was a candidate on the SYRIZA State ballot, had said – and it was known – in his CV that he was a businessman with a successful activity in the USA.
His companies, in contrast to those of the Mitsotakis family (Voltaire house, Panama Papers, etc.) have nothing to do with offshore companies that refer to tax evasion, according to the same sources.
In addition, all income from Mr. Kasselakis’ business activity has been taxed at a rate of 50% in the US. Every dollar is clean and anyone can easily see that, they conclude.
