Specifically, with the audacity that characterizes fascists in difficult times, after the reprimand via Twitter for ideological and political persecution, the “Führer” of the Golden Dawn, Nikos Michaloliakos, asked for relief through his attorney. These are your legal life, your subsequent good conduct, and the unreasonable length of the trial.
Regarding legal life, his legal representative stated that N. Michaloliakos has not been convicted. “He has produced a job and has not stopped liking it. He created a political body. “Help people,” he said characteristically. However, the choice of the phrase “has no conviction” seems to have been taken with great care by his lawyer, since if he said that he has not been involved in justice until now, he would be lying, since Nikos Michaloliakos has been again faced with justice, and in fact for his criminal action.
THE Eleni Zaroulia He requested through his lawyer the recognition of the extenuating circumstances of the legal life, the subsequent good conduct and the unreasonable duration of the trial.
“If Ms. Zaroulia was not Nick’s wife. Michaloliakou and she had not made the only speech she was found guilty of, would she be in this position?” Her lawyer argued that “it is evident that a member of parliament with a position of this kind recognize the mitigation of legal life. The Greek MP is special among citizens. “
THE Polyvios Zisimopoulos for his part, he demanded the recognition of the extenuating circumstances of the legal life and the unreasonable duration of the trial.
THE Elias Kasidiaris, as the director of a criminal organization, requested the attenuation of legal life, good behavior after the fact and the unreasonable length of the trial. “Mr. Kasidiaris is a misunderstood person, negatively projected. “It was a hunter of hunters against him, a witch hunt,” said his lawyer, noting that the acquittals in other cases with the accused prove it.
The defense of the former deputy Michael Arvanitis He also demanded the recognition of their legitimate life, claiming that they were respectable people who fully complied with the restrictive conditions imposed on them.
Respectively, for him Panagiotis Iliopoulos, the attenuation of the legal life, of the good behavior after the act was requested, since it served the Greek Parliament and had an excellent behavior, but also of the unreasonable length of the trial.
THE George Germenis It also claims mitigation of legal life, good conduct after the act and unreasonable duration of the trial.
For his part Ioannis LagosThe MEP and also convicted of leading a criminal organization, called for the attenuation of legal life, good behavior after the act and the unreasonable duration of the trial. His lawyer referred to the actions of Ioannis Lagos, stating that “to this day he promotes the interests of Greece, legally through political means through the European Parliament.”
Nikos Michos and Konstantinos Barbarousis are on the same wavelength. They both asked for the same relief as their fellow inmates, as well as practical repentance.
“Since 2013 he has completely disagreed with Golden Dawn. He did not falsify reality with masculinity in relation to what was happening. He condemned political violence. He demanded a tribute to the late Pavlos Fyssas, the deceased has the right, and I read an excerpt from the book of the Mr. Kampagiannis by order of my director ”, said his lawyer among others. Nikos Michos, noting that he loved animals and had married the same woman twice.
For your part, oh Konstantinos Barbarousis He requested the attenuation of the legal life, the subsequent good behavior, the unreasonable duration of the trial but also the non-humble motives.
“There is an incompatibility between the decision and the prosecutor’s proposal, which creates the expectation that in the appeal trial that the party will have been dissolved, it will occur in other circumstances,” he said, arguing that the lawyers cannot be put in mitigation when they do not know the reasoning for the court decision.
“Barbarousis is being sanctioned because at some point he became politicized since we do not have the rest of the reasons for the decision. He did not participate in any decision making. What did the criminal organization expect? “I have no reason,” his lawyer said.
His defense was invoked with sincere remorse George Roupakias, among other mitigating factors, that the court seeks to recognize. The defense of the author of the murder of Pavlos Fyssas, requested judicial recognition and the attenuation of the legal life until the execution of the act. “G. Roupakias, he says, closed two houses, one of Pavlos Fyssas and one of mine,” said his lawyer, adding that his client has been locked in a 50-square-meter apartment for 4.5 years. not being able to see a doctor often. “
By George Patelis An attenuation of the unreasonable length of the trial was requested, while many lawyers left clear clues for violation of the presumption of innocence of their clients and warned of appeals before the European Court of Human Rights.
