BERLIN AP – A wide-ranging investigation of tax evasion by Germans stashing their money abroad has led to the recovery of 27.8 million euros $41.19 million and netted 163 people, a prosecutor said Tuesday, even as similar probes have been spawned elsewhere in Europe, the U.S. and Australia.
In brief televised comments from the western city of Bochum, Hans-Ulrich Krueck said that so far 91 people targeted in the investigation “have admitted to the facts,” and had already made payments totaling 27.8 million euros $41.2 million.
