The former artistic director of the National Theater was taken to prison after a marathon investigation process, Dimitris Lignadis, who is charged with serial rape.
The defendant, who denies the facts alleged against him, did not convince an investigator and a prosecutor who unanimously decided to put him in preventive detention shortly after 2:00 a.m.

In this way, the first act … of the drama came to an end, although the lawyer Alexis Kougias announced an appeal against the temporary detention of Dimitris Lignadis, since – as he said – there is no evidence. However, he stressed that if the accused was someone else, he would be released.
Long apology and testimony
It should be noted that the decision of the Prosecutor’s Office came after the long testimony of the defense witnesses, as well as the apology of the director, where he received – in addition to the memorandum of apology that he presented – a barrage of questions.
In his memorandum, Mr. Lignadis stated that, at the time he allegedly committed the criminal acts for which he is accused, he was not even in the places where the violations were reported to have occurred.
To do this, he invoked an alibi for both the 2010 and 2015 rapes, proposing defense witnesses and pointing out that the accusations against him are fabricated.
At this point, however, the “surprise” came from two of the five witnesses, who expressed “ignorance of the merits of the case.” As stated in their advertisement, they themselves were characterized by the director’s attorney, Alexis Kougia, as “defense witnesses”, without their consent being asked or asked.
In a joint statement, Messrs. Ioannis Panagopoulos and Agisilaos Mekelatos state that “we do not know anything about the merits of the case and we are unaware of the reasons why our information was made public in the press by the defense of Mr. Lignadis.”
They add that “the second of us, was in Ithaca in August 2015, invited by Mrs. El. Kourkoula, but not on August 8 and / or 9, but as of August 10 and remained only until August 13 and / or 14 “. “After that, you can’t know anything about the period before August 10, 2015,” they add.
Instead, actress Eleni Kourkoula and her ex-husband, Dionysis Panagiotakis, as well as her brother Dimitris Lignadis were called to testify as defense witnesses in Evelpidon.
