'''Dimitris Tsovolas''' (Dimitrios Tsovolas, [[Greek language|Greek]]: Δημήτριος Τσοβόλας) is a [[Greeks|Greek]] politician.

He was born at [[Melissourgoi]], a village outside [[Arta]], [[Epirus]], [[Greece]] in [[1942]]. He studied Law at the [[Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki]] and worked as a lawyer, in [[Arta]], from [[1970]] to [[1977]].

Tsovolas began his career in politics as a member of [[PASOK]]. He was first elected member of the [[Hellenic Parliament|Parliament]] in [[1977]]. He served as the country's [[Minister of Finance|Finance Minister]] in the [[1980s]] during which time he followed controversial policies.

Tsovolas was among those former [[PASOK]] ministers indicted in [[1989]] over fiscal irregularities related to the [[Giorgos Koskotas|Koskotas]] and the [[Bank of Crete]] scandals. He was found guilty in [[1992]] and received a suspended jail sentence and deprivation of his political and civil rights for 3 years.

At the end of the sentence in December [[1995]], he founded a separate party - [[DIKKI]] - which had success in the September [[1996]] elections and got around 4% of the vote and nine seats by positioning itself as the left-wing, social-democratic alternative to PASOK. However, the party failed to capitalise on its success and was seen as out of date and out of touch by most voters in the election of [[2000]] and [[2004]]. After the last election, Tsovolas has suspended the party's activities and retired from active politics. He currently practices law in [[Athens]].
