ALTXORRA HARRAPATU DUTELAKOAN


The New York Times egunkarian Estatu Espainola agertzean... uf... altxorra aurkitu dute. Altxorra badakizu nola esaten da espainolez; "tesoro" hitzaren sinonimo hura... euskaraz harrapakina ere deritzoguna. Familia honen izena, alegia.

Horrela hasten da artikulua:

Emilio Botín is a billionaire Spanish banker renowned for running a tight ship. He asks that his top credit officers at Santander — one of Europe’s largest banks — make a trek to his vacation home each summer to report on loan exposures. And he queries the head of his charitable foundation, euro for euro, on its smallest donations.

Yet, there is one not-so-small matter that Mr. Botín (pronounced bo-TEEN) has failed to keep tabs on: a Swiss bank account secretly opened long ago by his father that grew to such a size that when Spanish authorities discovered its existence last year, Mr. Botín and other family members paid 200 million euros (about $273 million currently) in taxes to avoid tax evasion charges.

At the request of tax fraud inspectors, a Spanish national court is investigating whether the payment is enough, given the amount that was stashed abroad; tax experts in Spain say that the account could reach two billion euros. The court has also said that officials need more time to sift through the blizzard of documents that the family submitted and will consider whether a criminal charge of document fraud should be brought.

Bitxikeria... argazkia Inaki Ochoa de Olzaren anaia Danielena omen da. Eta bai, badakit berriematea egunkari, irrati eta beste medioei utzi beharko niekela, eta nire idazkietara itzuli beharko nuela. Laster.
