The trial of the six defendants for the death of Zak Costopoulos, before the Mixed Court of Juries, was postponed until November 6.
The defense requested the postponement, noting that it is absent from the lawyers because it is a suspected case of coronavirus, according to information from LiFO. Meanwhile, a demonstration takes place in front of the Athens Court of Appeal, in which LGBTQI organizations, anti-racist, anti-fascist and left-wing organizations participate.
“Condemn the murderers of Zak / Zackie” is the central slogan and those gathered demand justice and that those responsible for the death of Zak Costopoulos be convicted. Traffic has stopped on Degleri Street at this time.

Six people are accused of the activist’s disgusting death on September 21, 2018 on Gladstonos Street in central Athens. They are two citizens, the jeweler and a broker, and four policemen who rushed to the place. All of them are charged with fatal bodily injury.
The death of the 33-year-old had shocked public opinion by the cruelty of the beatings received by Zak Costopoulos. The material that was recorded and disseminated to the media, with the activist receiving severe beatings from the first two defendants and finally calming down while the police tried to handcuff him, had provoked strong reactions and was characterized by the Civil Action of the case as “death in public”. watch”.
According to the referral panel, on September 21, 2018, at 2:30 p.m., the 33-year-old “entered for unknown reasons” the first defendant’s jewelry store on Gladstonos Street, whose door was not secured by the owner due to his short absence.
Zak Costopoulos, according to the record, was overexcited and when he realized that he could not get out, he began to hit the glass door with a fire extinguisher and then the lower level of the shop window which was shattered.
When the victim tried to crawl out of there, he received multiple blows to the head and body by the jeweler and the broker. Then the police, according to the accusation, while he was already covered in blood and “unable to concentrate his forces and showed difficulty in breathing … acted with excessive zeal” and with intense violence immobilized him.
The panel states that the two merchants, although due to their age and basic social experience, could have predicted the fatal outcome of the beatings, yet “due to lack of proper care … they acted recklessly without predicting the outcome.”
