Greek ex-finance minister gets caught up in scandal

George Papaconstantinou, who was the main architect of debt-ridden Greece's first austerity program, was expelled from his Socialist party after the allegations came to light Friday. The party said he had “handled the list in the worst possible way.”

Prosecutors had cross-checked the list originally handed over to the Finance Ministry by French authorities in 2010 — while Papaconstantinou was minister — with another copy supplied by France last week.

The prosecutors said three people related to a former minister were not on the first list.
