Case 1:
More than 2 years ago the Greek minister of finance was given a list of Swiss bank accounts (and the names of the account holders) by the then French minister of economics (and current Head of the IMF) Christine Lagarde. The idea was to check which of these contained illegally obtained funds and/or had avoided taxation. Greece could tax the accounts, and reduce its debt.
The result: Two ministers of finance later, and no action has been taken, while the list has been lost in the meantime (Original minister says he gave it to his "office", doesn't know what happened to it, won't say who he gave it to)
A reporter gets his hands on a copy of the list, publishes it, and...

The minister that "lost" the list, and the reporter that published it
Case 2:
The guardian had reported on a case of torture of protesters by the Greek police

The Greek minister claimed these were false accusations, threatened to sue the guardian.
Turns out though they probably were tortured after all, according to forensic findings.
Two reporters on the Government owned TV station
NET commented on the fact and...

The journalists' union of NET have declared a strike in response to what they consider a blatant act of censorship.

My take on the matter:
Most (if not all) of the privately owned TV stations in Greece are horribly biased, and believe it or not the government station NET was quite an objective source of news. The government must have decided to change that. Thankfully we still have the internet, but the vast majority of Greeks depend on TV news for their daily information.
As for the list of Swiss Bank accounts, no doubt the politicians in power are afraid of any investigation of the matter, since some of that money must be a result of government corruption, and the trail of the funds would lead back to the corrupt government officials who are still in power in Greece.
