Greeceās most famous fashion designer, Lakis Gavalas, was arrested on Friday night in Athens. Greek media reported that Gavalas was the most wanted state debtor for almost a week.
Lakis Gavalas owes 1,4 million euros worth of VAT tax and he knew the Financial Crimes Unit (SDOE) was after him. The arrest was finally executed by a Narcotics & Weapons police unit last Friday.
Both units let apparently Gavalas first have a great time and they arrested him later after he had left a night club.
Greeceās famous entrepreneur -often celebrated in local media as āKing of Lifestyleā, āGuru of Fashionā and āFashion Iconā ā had already problems with the SDOE since last February.
At that time it was leaked to the Greek press that he was owing the state some 5 million euro. His debts to the state had squeezed him financially to the extent that he was not allowed to import goods anymore. Gavalas still remains in custody waiting for a court hearing to be scheduled.
