New developments in the Siemens affair

"The recent developments in the Siemens affair in Greece are just the tip of the iceberg", writes the daily newspaper Ta Nea. "Millions of euros in bribes paid to both major political parties must still be located. ... Already, there is ample evidence to prove that illicit earnings are circulating in the Panhellenic Socialist Movement. ... These revelations come as a severe blow to the opposition ... because they show that its much acclaimed self purification did not take place after all. ... Unfortunately, the widely trumpeted statements were not put into practice. The Siemens affair affects the entire political system, and naturally the government as well. ... It is absolutely necessary that the culprits be made accountable, even at the highest political levels."
