True, but let's keep in mind that they managed a primary surplus despite this huge tax avoidance. This actually should make everyone bullish on Greece: These are not insurmountable problems. I still think that ΣΥΡΙΖΑ is the first party ever that would be fully willing to implement the right reforms (e.g. collecting taxes, etc.) if - and only if - the EU gives Greece a future by restructuring debt. It makes me sad to observe that the so-called institutions let this opportunity pass for stupid reasons (As far as I can tell, the fear of the German/French parties of their electorate and the fear of the established parties in the 'periphery' of newcomers like Podemos). It was the best shot we had to make real progress in Greece, imho.
