In summary
This article summarises the recent developments in anti-bribery
and anti-money laundering (AML) legislation in Greece and the key
implications and challenges for businesses. Over the past few
years, the country has included the fight against corruption and
bribery as part of its reform agendas. New legislation has since
been introduced to address unresolved issues and fill legislative
gaps, including the introduction of corporate criminal liability in
relation to bribery offences. We also examine the European
Union's AML legislative package and how it is likely to
affect the AML regime in Greece.
