Tourists 'may help Greek tax probe'

Greece’s proposal to use “non-professional inspectors” including “students, housekeepers and even tourists” to crack down on tax evasion has earned the government wide scorn from political opponents and on the internet.

The proposal is one of seven reforms described in an attachment to a letter sent by Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis to Dutch counterpart Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who is also president of the Eurogroup – the gathering of the 19 eurozone finance ministers.
