The Batiste situation was resolved after Panathinaikos paying 200.000 euros to Greek tax authorities in order for the former Green to be released. The American player knew about the problem because he still owns his old house in Athens and the note from the tax authorities for the debt was send in his address.
According to Eurohoops sources, the same happened to Sarunas Jasikevicius, whose wife is Greek and he still owns a house in Athens. A similar note was send to his address, Saras’ relatives informed him about it, he contacted Panathinaikos and the situation was also resolved.
