International Finance & Ethics: The exposing of corruption continues… today is Greece and Germany - March 10, 2015 CET

Yesterday was Brazil, and today is two more countries under scrutiny. It’s been in alternative news sources for weeks and months: Speaking about how companies out of integrity will be exposed, and it seems the flow is just beginning. Doesn’t it feel that way to you, also? Almost daily now, I’m coming across story after story of government or corporate leaders being charged for their wrongdoings. Hallelujah …finally, it feels like things are starting to shift to a point that is undeniable to many people.

Of course, we will continue to lean toward caution. So many of us have been researching and studying this type of information for so long that any little inkling looks and sounds promising, and then …nothing happens. Or so it seems that nothing is happening, because on the surface –and according to mainstream media– life continues as normal without any overt evidence of major changes.

To clarify, things are happening: A lot is happening, yet we also learned from “jumping the gun” in the past. So bear with us as we continue to report on what is being released, connecting the dots when we are able …the whole time trusting in our heart-of-hearts that promised change progresses ever forward behind closed doors –whether or not it’s being reportedly publicly.

Greek authorities have indicted more than 60 people to stand trial over an alleged bribery scandal 17 years ago, involving a telecom contract for German industrial giant Siemens AG. An investigation found that the Greek state lost some 70 million euros from the 1998 sale of equipment from Siemens to Greece’s dominant telecom operator, OTE. A panel of judges decided Monday that 64 Greek and German nationals should stand trial for bribery or money laundering. The suspects include former Siemens and OTE officials, and the former treasurer of Greece’s once-prominent Socialist party. Two of the main suspects have fled Greece, while others live in Germany. No trial date was set. The charges carry a maximum 20-year prison sentence.”
