Friends and relatives of the Fyssas family, as well as victims of the Golden Dawn, are cheering the verdict against the leader of the political formation for leading a criminal organization. Photojournalists frame the parents of the anti-fascist musician. President Maria Lepenioti warns that she will not accept another interruption in the process. “Paul did it … my son!” Magda Fyssa will scream coming out of the courtroom and informing the thousands of citizens who had closed Alexandras Avenue about the verdict. A buzz is heard in the courtroom from the applause of the protesters. The clock says 11:43.

In front of them, on the bench only 11 of the 68 defendants awaited their verdict. The entire former parliamentary group was absent, as well as the main defendants.
The first name that is pronounced is that of the absent G. Roupakias. Guilty as accused. Then begins the recitation of all the accused in alphabetical order at dizzying rates. The beginning is made with the accused in the murder of Fyssa, they continue with the attacks against the Egyptian fishermen and PAME and ends in the criminal organization.

The Greek justice accepted the heavy accusation in terms of its content, concluding that Golden Dawn was not a simple political party, but an organization, which committed a series of crimes to achieve its objectives.

Perama in 2012.

The relievers
However, the road is long for the three-member Criminal Court of Appeal to complete its work, after 5.5 years of hearing. In fact, the process is expected to last many days and is the new “bet” for those involved in the case. As Panagiotis Fyssas highlighted in News24 / 7, shortly after the announcement of the decision: “We will be happier when the sentences are heard.”
The court, after passing judgment on the recognition of mitigating circumstances, which all convicted persons request to reduce their sentences, must rule on the sentences and their mergers, but also on the suspension of the sentences.
The defense of G. Roupakias has already requested the attenuation of his legitimate life until the execution of the act, as well as the attenuation of sincere repentance. According to the lawyer, G. Roupakias has been locked up in a 50 square meter apartment for 4.5 years. not being able to see a doctor often. Respectively, the mitigation requests were made by nuclear chiefs G. Patelis and An. Pantazis, who occasionally asked to be recognized for the mitigating circumstances of the legal life and the unreasonable length of the trial.
But all the condemned deputies on occasions demanded recognition of the mitigating circumstances of legal life, good behavior after the act, the unreasonable duration of the trial and the violation of the presumption of innocence. Among other things, the defense of the leader of Golden Dawn, Nick. Michaloliakou noted: “Without his knowledge, a crime was committed, he was insulted and placed in preventive detention. He did everything and had a trip without anyone attributing anything to him “, while he ended up criticizing the attitude of the people before the verdict:” It is not the behavior of society to treat an accused like that. It makes no sense, on the eve of the decision, to publish statements that were not directed to Michaloliakos but to other places. They were not intended for the accused. Mr. Michaloliakos did not do the least thing, did not give a writing sample. Why were they made? Why did they say about the losers of 45 about these jokes? “An exception was Nikos Michos, who was the only one who questioned the mitigation of practical repentance, claiming that since 2013 the ex-MP has been in total disagreement with the Golden Dawn.
The process
Defendants who have been found guilty have the right to request the suspension of their sentence, pending a decision of the appeals court. Thus, although some sanction will be imposed, if suspensive effect is granted on their appeal, they will not be sent to prison unless the same sentence is taken by the Five-Member Court of Appeal.
But even so, the decision is neither final nor irrevocable. The convicted have all the right to appeal, demanding a new sentence from the Greek Justice in second instance. After the court’s most voluminous decision, which is expected to take a long time, is expected to continue, proceedings are expected to continue as Golden Dawn’s trial reaches the Five-Member Court of Criminal Appeal, where the current convicts will sit.
