Zak Costopoulos’s family, through their lawyers, asks journalist Aris Portosalte to publicly apologize for the “false and inaccurate facts” and the “particularly offensive crises”.
Aris Portosalte criticized the demonstrations scheduled for today demanding the acquittal of the 33-year-old activist, affirming many times that Zak Costopoulos was a “toxic man who entered to rob.”
“Why are we having rallies and marches today? Because a second test of Zak Costopoulos begins. This man who came to rob and was not arrested, as he should have been, between us. A world fell up there and things happened that should not have been. happened, to be clear. Whoever enters a store … why it was toxic, I am not going to go into the details of the case, things were done that should not be done in a society, okay? Someone broke in to force entry, the police will come to arrest him. This is my opinion. You will tell me, you apply it in your house. I do not enter the conversation, because one conversation will bring up the other, it makes no sense. The point is that there is a second trial that mobilizes again to groups in our society, ”said the SKAI journalist characteristically.

“Portosalte should apologize”
“Mr. Portosalte’s opinions characterize him,” said the family, requesting the intervention of ESIEA and the ESR.
Through their lawyers, the family points out that false and inaccurate facts and particularly offensive judgments were known about the deceased and adds that the journalist turned the victim into a perpetrator.
At the same time, they accuse Aris Portosalte of hiding – even unquestionably from the defense – the medical findings, spreading false news and completely distorting the decisions of the referral panel with which the accused are processed.
All the family announcement:
With special discomfort and concern we note that this morning, an hour before the start of the trial of those accused of the death of Zak Costopoulos, false and inaccurate facts and particularly offensive judgments about the deceased by Mr.Portosalte on the radio station radio SKAI. . By turning the victim of a savage lynching into a perpetrator, and becoming a radio judge, the journalist concealed, undoubtedly even from the defense, the medical findings, spreading false news and completely distorting the decisions of the referrer, who referred the accused They are being judged.
The opinions of Mr. Portosalte characterize him. However, the observance of journalistic ethics and the transmission of true news, with veracity and objectivity, is their duty and also burdens both ESIEA and the ESR as well as the radio station that takes a step.
The least that the family expects from him is that he rebuilds himself and apologizes publicly and that the auditing bodies do what is correct and legal.
