Or are the criminal acts of your members “isolated incidents” irrelevant to the choices and guidelines of your leadership team?

The time for the issuance of the decision of the First Criminal Court of Appeal of three members. Already countdown with most of the 68 defendants in total allegedly absent from court tomorrow.

After all, throughout the trial, which lasted for several years, most of the defendants chose to absent themselves from court. The Golden Dawn leadership team, with the exception of three people, did not appear in court for a full 5.5 years, except on the Day of Apology.
