Christine Lagarde - The Lagarde List

The Lagarde List

In 2010 Lagarde, then financial minister of France, sent a list of 1991 names of Greek customers with bank accounts at HSBC's Geneva branch to the Greek government.

On 28 October 2012, Greek reporter and editor Kostas Vaxevanis claimed to be in possession of the list and published a document with more than 2,000 names in his magazine Hot Doc. He was immediately arrested on charges for breaching privacy laws with a possible sentence of up to two years in prison. Three days later in trial Vaxevanis was found not guilty.
