Antonis Remos: Tax Evasion and Money Laundering Allegations

Sources from the Anti-Money Laundering Authority have disclosed a 20-page report detailing findings on singer Antonis Remos, including evidence and diagrams related to allegations of money laundering and tax evasion. Remos, who has been under scrutiny for allegedly evading €1.5 million in taxes and laundering money, has not paid any of the €13 million owed by Heracles, a football club for which he served as president.

Authority’s Findings

The Anti-Money Laundering Authority’s report was submitted to financial prosecutors a month ago, according to credible sources. The investigation revealed that Remos owns a coffee import company, which auditors believe is being used for laundering illicit funds.

Remos’s Response

In response, Remos issued a statement denying the accusations and criticizing the authorities for leaking what he claims is false information. He asserted that he is not an accused but is currently under investigation. Remos has instructed his lawyers, Stathis Bakalis and Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, to expedite the process so he can provide explanations and challenge the charges.

Remos stated, “I have categorically never committed tax evasion and have been audited multiple times by tax authorities without any criminal behavior being found.” He emphasized that the current issue stems from a single tax return during the Covid period when operations were shut down. He further noted that he consistently pays significant taxes both personally and through his businesses.

Legal and Personal Standpoint

Remos criticized the institutional handling of the case, calling the leaks an “institutional misdemeanor” and a violation of Criminal Law. He declared his intention to fully cooperate with any audit process and expressed his readiness to continue working and performing, stressing that many workers depend on his concerts for their livelihood.

Full Statement by Antonis Remos

“I have immediately instructed my attorneys, Stathis Bakalis and Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, to file an application to be summoned quickly, to provide explanations, understand the accusations against me, and refute the charges. We are all equal before the law, but the leaks of false information against me are an institutional misdemeanor and violate the Criminal Law. I have categorically never committed tax evasion and have undergone numerous audits by the tax authorities without any criminal behavior being found. The single case of a tax return during the Covid period, when everything was closed, is misleadingly presented as a norm, while I consistently pay large amounts of taxes both as an individual and through my companies. I am not accused; I am being investigated. I will continue to work normally and will not cancel any concerts, as dozens of workers depend on them. I will fully respond to any audit process and await the filing of my case.”
