With objections, absences and tensions, the trial of the Epiphany case at the Athens Criminal Court began today in the courts of the former Evelpidon School. In the dock are four representatives and owners of companies allegedly involved in attendance.
As it became known, the defense of the two defendants raised the issue of invalidity of the procedure, as the content of the summons was not in a language that their clients would understand. The objection was finally rejected. The “present” in the process was given early on Thursday morning by PASOK President Nikos Androulakis, one of the goals of the espionage, which, however, was not able to testify due to the examination of the claim of the defendants, as planned.
“The process has begun. There are some issues that have not been clarified because there has been room for analogy because of prosecutors. The first objection was rejected, we are moving forward in the next. In the coming days we will have the evolution of the case, “said lawyer Zacharias Casey on the part of political education.
Asked about the attitude of one of the defendants who reacted strongly inside the room to the prosecutor’s office, Mr. Keses noted:
“It is the choice of the defendant to represent noisily in this process. We were struck by the way it was placed. He seems to want to self -act, he has the right to defend himself in the way he is better. “
Journalist Thanassis Koukakis also attended the trial, also the goal of illegal software. “Today, a process has begun that seems to take a long time. We saw us regret that the victims of the spy, politicians, former senior officials and government officials who could declare civil action as victims of Predator and EYP were unfortunately absent. They have the opportunity to do it on Wednesday. It’s their last chance. We invite them, if they want to shed light on this case, to do so, ”Mr Koukakis said, outgoing the courts.
