The case regarding the conditional release of Alexandros Giotopoulos has taken a new turn, as the Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office has filed an appeal against the ruling that gave the “green light” for his release.
According to judicial sources, Supreme Court Deputy Prosecutor Sophocles Logothetis, after reviewing the ruling of the Piraeus Court of Appeals, determined that there are grounds for reexamining the case involving the man convicted for the November 17 attack.
According to the same sources, the grounds for the appeal state that the legal requirements—neither procedural nor substantive—for granting conditional release have not been met.
Following this development, a competent judicial panel is expected to be formed in the coming days to review the prosecutor’s proposal and decide whether to accept the appeal.
