Additionally reports of foreign bribery can be made to the Greek police or to any Greek public prosecutor. Anonymous reporting is permitted. Verbal and written reports can be accepted in Greek (official language) and in English. To call Greece from another country, use the international access code +30. It is also possible to report information regarding suspected incidents of foreign bribery to the Greek embassy in the country where the bribery is alleged to have occurred. Greek public officials are required to report evidence of foreign bribery to the Greek enforcement authorities.
