With Magda Fyssa on the witness stand, it will continue before the Five-Member Criminal Appeals Court who is judging Chrysi Avgi, the sixth day of the trial during which the musician’s father, Panagiotis Fyssas, is expected to be called to testify.

Ms. Fyssa is expected today to be examined by defense attorneys for the defendants, a process that began in the previous session which did not lack tensions, especially when the witness received questions from both Yannis Lagos, who was convicted of running a criminal organization, and from his attorney , Kostas Pleuris. The lawyer, in a verbal confrontation he had with the witness, gave a Nazi salute in the presence of the judges, looking at Pavlos Fyssa’s mother. This move was made for the second time in the courtroom, however, it was the first time that it was made while the judges were in the Chair and were preparing to leave due to applause from the public, which is on the side of the Civil Procedure, to an answer by Mrs. Fyssa.

In her testimony, the mother of 34-year-old Pavlos Fyssa reiterated her belief thatthat her son was murdered by the knife of Giorgos Roupakias following a decision taken by the criminal organization Golden Dawn which mobilized for this purpose the Local organization of the Golden Dawn in Nice, one of the most active, in 2013, Locals of the then parliamentary party. The witness, after describing, visibly moved, how she learned that her son had suffered “something serious” on the night of September 17, 2013, and how she faced the harsh reality when she saw her son “sleeping” in the morgue of the General State Hospital of Nice, told the judges everything her son’s friends told her happened, before the “murderer” came to the fore. The one who “calmly hugged Pavlos and stabbed him” as Magda Fyssa said. The witness referred to the attitude of the DIAS Police that night who “not only did not prevent the crime, but helped it” by remaining observers of the events that unfolded when a group of gold diggers trapped Pavlos Fyssas.

The musician’s mother referred to “state immunity” which she said was enjoyed by a “terrorist criminal organization that roamed the streets freely killing innocent people”.

Upon completion of Magda Fyssa’s testimony, the court is going to call before it, Mr. Panagiotis Fyssa who was the first witness examined by the trial court. The musician’s father had rushed to the scene where his son had been fatally stabbed and had seen him slumped in the arms of his partner who was sitting on the pavement. Only when Panagiotis Fyssas saw his son he had not realized that he was already dead. He began to fear the worst might have happened as the ambulance “didn’t sound a siren” and seeing “a straight line on the machine”. As he testified in the first trial:

“At 12:55 in the evening the phone rang. It was my brother and he told me: “I ran to Tsaldari, they hit the child”. As soon as I arrived, I saw Chryssa, Pavlos’ friend, sitting on the sidewalk and Paul. He was motionless. They told me he was stabbed. I thought he only had scratches. My mind went to Golden Dawn, because his songs were bothering them. I thought the stabbings were to scare him. I thought he was alive, that he had passed out…Then it struck me that the ambulance didn’t sound the siren when we got to General State. The machine was pointing in a straight line. They told me the child was “gone.” I asked them, “Why? Because the ambulance was late? ” They answered me “No,” he would die even if he was hit outside the hospital. It was a very professional hit.” I didn’t know how to tell his mother. I told her that the child hit his head. When he came at the hospital, he learned from the doctors what had happened.”

The defense of Giorgos Roupakias both in the first court and also now, as it was seen with its questions to the musician’s mother, disputes that the phrase about “professional beating” was said by a doctor to the two parents. The lawyer of the man sentenced to life for the murder of Pavlos Fyssa, asked at the previous meeting from Magda Fyssa to name the doctor in question, something he is expected to do with Mr. Panagiotis Fyssa as well. In corresponding observations from the side of Giorgos Roupakias in the first trial, the father of Pavlos Fyssas had reacted very strongly saying that Roupakias is trying to attribute the death “to the delay of the ambulance”. However, according to the case file, the death of Pavlos Fyssas occurred “on the spot” with “the sole and exclusive cause of the injury inflicted by Giorgos Roupakias” who “hit him twice in the left hemithorax, at the level of the heart and once in the thigh “
