Timeline

2019

On 29 October, he was given a "fast-track trial date" by prosecutors. Government critics contrasted the speed of the case against Vaxevanis with the slow arrest of Golden Dawn MP Ilias Kasidiaris and the government's slow investigation of the Lagarde list itself. Following his arrest, Vaxevanis wrote an article for the British newspaper The Guardian describing his view of the circumstances behind the publication of the list. The New York Times condemned the prosecution in an op-ed titled "Greece Arrests the Messenger", stating, "Greece’s elected leaders need to pay more attention to investigating possible financial crimes and less to prosecuting journalists."

In October 2019 he stated that the new Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is trying to struggle economically the Documento. He claims that the reason is his reportages about Mitsotakis' financing, his personal loans for Kyrix Chanion newspaper, his family's offshores, such as his general politics. David Sassoli, president of the European Parliament, stated in a letter to the journalist that "there is worry about the situation of the Press in Greece and that they observe his case".

2013

Vaxevanis' trial began on 1 November and ended the same day with an acquittal. Leaving the courtroom, he quoted George Orwell to supporters: "Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed. The rest is public relations." On 16 November, the courts indicated that he may face retrial. In 2013, a prosecutor overturned the acquittal and ordered Vaxevanis to undergo a new trial. The retrial ended in November 2013 with another acquittal.

2012

In April 2012, Vaxevanis began the publication of the fortnightly magazine Hot Doc.

On 28 October 2012, he was arrested over the magazine's publication of a document claimed to be the Lagarde list, a list of 1,991 names of Greek customers with accounts at the Swiss branch of HSBC, suggesting that they could be tax evaders. He was charged with "interfering with sensitive personal data". The published list had names of customers of the Geneva branch of HSBC and, according to the magazine, "matched a list of 2,059 people" on the Lagarde list. Vaxevanis was released from Athens police headquarters a few hours after his arrest. On leaving the building, he told a reporter: "The prosecutor's office wants to protect tax evaders. I'm just doing my duty. Instead of arresting the tax evaders and the ministers who had the list in their hands, they're trying to arrest the truth and freedom of the press."
