Even that they are no longer involved in “politics” or have severed all ties with the organization.
The beginning was made by Konstantinos Barbarousis, who accompanied his elderly father to the courtroom, who argued that his survival depended solely on his son.
On Friday, the Elias Kasidiaris He personally asked the judges not to serve “the death penalty until I prove to the Court of Appeals my innocence, of which the prosecutor spoke for eight hours.” Soon after, his lawyers defended his ailing father and his expatriate brothers.
The headquarters were fired upon by Giannis Lagos Through his lawyer, who in an obviously difficult position explained that he would not take office but would read in court the statement of the MEP on the prejudice of the seat against him. “The court acted discriminatory against me, sentenced me based on orders, I will appeal to the European courts to prove what happened. “For five and a half years, the Justice had to understand what the prosecutors and judges knew, and although she had to be blind, it turned out that she was acting on orders,” Lagos said.

As a sign of the “irreparable damage” he will suffer if his sentence is not suspended, he stated that the daily “Chrysi Avgi” was closed and that the party has been dissolved. But the court has already ruled that the “party” is the cloak of a criminal organization.
