ATHENS, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Greece appointed lawyer George
Pitsilis as its top tax collection official, the country's
finance ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
Greece's top tax collector post has been vacant since
October when the leftist government sacked Katerina Savvaidou,
in a row over alleged delays in collecting taxes.
