Disciplinary reports against judicial officials who conscientiously carry out their duties are inappropriate and will find us facing, the Union of Judges and Prosecutors said in a statement, responding without naming Dimitris Lignadis’s defense attorney, Alexis Kougia.
At the same time, the Union of Judges and Prosecutors also responds, without naming the defense lawyer of D. Koufontina, Gianna Kurtovic, describing as “unfounded and wrong the approach adopted by the lawyers to challenge the judicial soundness demonstrated by which they serve” .
The full announcement is as follows:
“Yesterday’s statements by a defense attorney in a case that concerns the public, with which he publicly managed to make unfounded and disparaging characterizations against the Public Ministry, the Instructor and the Criminal Court of Athens, go far beyond the limits of their defense and criticism. Disciplinary reports against judicial officials who conscientiously carry out their duties are inappropriate and will find us confronted. Actions such as these alter the atmosphere of mutual respect of Justice officials and should be isolated mainly from the Bar Associations themselves .
Finally, we consider unjustified and erroneous the approach adopted by lawyers to challenge the judicial soundness shown by their colleagues based on the Court in which they work. “Judicial officials know how to show courage and bravery and decide in accordance with the law and their conscience.”
