The speeches were not completed for all the culprits and from this point the process will begin tomorrow, which was extended for one day in terms of decisions on mitigation, penalties and imprisonment.
However, a little earlier, his lawyer Chrysovalanti Alexopoulos complained that a police officer was watching his client at work and the prosecutor’s reaction was immediate: “The prosecutor is responsible for the execution of the decisions. No such order has been given” Ms. Adamantia Oikonomou highlighted, responding to the complaint.
Specifically, the defense of a specific defendant stated that an officer has been observing him at his workplace since morning. Therefore, the lawyer asked if there was a relevant order with respect to the convicted persons. The prosecutor responded by emphasizing that there is no such order.
The possibility of violent extradition
The court, if it announces its decision on the sentences it will impose on the convicted persons, has the possibility to order their appearance. Thus, those who impose sanctions have the option if they decide to take them to court and then decide whether or not to grant them suspensions in the execution of their sentence.
The court can also pronounce its decision on sentences and suspensions without the convicts appearing in court. In this case, and if the court imposes sentences without suspension, it may refer its decision to the competent authorities, which must seek out the convicted persons to execute the decision, that is, to take them to prison. It should be noted that the convicted persons have the right under the new criminal law not to be present at the trial until the announcement of the decision on the suspensions, since they can be represented by their lawyers, a possibility exercised by the majority of the accused throughout the entire the audience. process. In any case, the Police are on full alert either for the violent apprehension of the guilty, if the court exercises this possibility, or for the execution of the decision, that is, to send to prison those who decide that their sentences will be enforceable and not with inhibitory force.
Prosecutor: Discard mitigations in the “address”
Before, discard the mitigating factors requested by the lawyers of your “address” Golden Dawn criminal organization the prosecutor had asked in her brief speech Adamantia Oikonomou.
This means that they asked that the relievers be rejected for them. Michaloliakos, Papas, Kasidiari, Hare, Panagiotaros, Germeni Y Matthewbut also to former members of Parliament who were found guilty. In her opening speech, Ms Oikonomou excluded three convicted former MPs for whom she called for mitigation. Former Golden Dawn MPs are: D. Koukoutsis, Chr. Alexopoulos Y F. Boukouras.
The prosecutor, again taking the floor in the Golden Dawn case, extended her mitigation recognition proposal and those who have been convicted of participating in a criminal organization and have not been convicted of other crimes.
According to the prosecutor, if those convicted of participation in a criminal organization have not committed another criminal act, they can be granted the mitigation provided for in article 187, paragraph 6 of the old Penal Code.
For the other convicts for whom the Prosecutor’s Office proposed the rejection of all the attenuations requested by the Prosecutor’s Office, he said: “It would be contradictory on the one hand to offer mitigation and on the other to have been convicted of murder and crimes that affect democracy. “I am forced to propose the rejection of all mitigating factors.”
If in the end the court does not recognize mitigation, then there is no case to “fall” under the provided penalties. Defense attorneys are currently in court on the prosecutor’s mitigation proposal.
The next stages of the process until the announcement of the sentences
THE fiscal of the headquarters Adamantia Oikonomou He took the floor minutes after one in the afternoon to speak about the mitigations requested yesterday by the defense attorneys for the inmates.

Following the prosecutor’s proposal, the attorneys for the Golden Dawn members will ask for the minimum sentence to be imposed, and the court will withdraw to rule again. After the court decision, there will be an announcement on the measurement and merger of sentences.
It is noted that the mitigation decision is particularly important as it will determine the number of penalties to be imposed on the culprits. Suffice to say for the crime of running a criminal organization (for which seven former Golden Dawn MPs were found guilty yesterday) the penalty is 5 to 15 years in prison.
However, if mitigating factors are recognized, then the prescribed sentences decrease significantly and range between 2 and 8 years in prison.

However, if the mitigation is recognized, the penalties are reduced from 1 to 5 years in prison. With regard to the crime of murder, life sentences are foreseen, while for assassination attempts several years of prison are foreseen.

Most of these attenuations were requested by the vast majority of those convicted, some of them even invoking as proof of recognition of the attenuation, the fact that they have married the same woman twice or that they have friendly feelings towards animals. However, almost all of the lawyers for those found guilty spoke of a violation of the presumption of innocence of their constituents and stated that they would appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.
