Golden Dawn Trial: Eyewitnesses of the Fyssa murder testify today

The people who “were there”, two of his friends Pavlou Fyssa, but also one police officer of DIAS, who saw and experienced the events that led to the murder of the musician on the night of September 17, 2013, will be today Wednesday in front of the Five-member Court of Criminal Appeals that is trying the criminal organization Chrysi Avgi in the second degree.

Today, the seventh hearing of the trial, three “eyewitnesses” are expected to testify in court of the events that unfolded inside and mainly outside the “Koralli” cafe in Amfiali, when the musician and his friends were watching a football match, which in members of the Golden Dawn also attended the same shop.

The court has called to testify today Pavlos Seirlis, a friend of the musician who was in his company that night, DIAS police officer Giorgos Rotas who with his colleagues and two motorbikes went outside the cafeteria on the order of their Center and Dimitris Melachrinopoulos, a close friend of Pavlos Fyssas who witnessed the murder of the 34-year-old.

The three accounts of the witnesses, who have a direct perception of the “frames” of that night, will contribute to the judges’ assessment of the murder that triggered the beginning of the end of the Golden Dawn.

Melachrinopoulos, beaten by members of the group of gold diggers who chased Fyssa and the men in his company, saw the scene of the crime. As he testified in the first court: “I saw Roupakias stab Pavlos twice. Pavlos crawled towards me and asked me for water. When I gave it to him and he drank it, he spat it out and started collapsing.” The witness who had mentioned with emotion that “I had Paul’s blood on my hands” had stated, in the first trial, that he believed that the murder of his friend “was an organized crime” and that the goldsmiths acted in concert.

Pavlos Seirlis, who is expected to take the stand at the start of today’s proceedings, has testified that after being hit by the helmet of a member of the Order and hiding in a shed to escape the gold rushers who were chasing them, he saw Roupakias’ car to enter upside down to the place where Fyssas had been isolated and the now sentenced to life imprisonment, to come out and move towards the place, but without having the vision to see the continuation of the scene.

DIAS police officer Giorgos Rotas has stated in the first trial that when they arrived outside Koralli with his colleagues they realized that they could not intervene because “there were eight of us, compared to fifty who were holding sledgehammers”. He had also testified that the order they received from their Center was to stay at a distance and give an overview of the situation.

In the previous session, during the commenting on the statements of Pavlos Fyssas’ relatives, the side of the defendants disputed the admission of the indictment on “targeting of Pavlos Fyssas”, saying that his music or his opinions were completely unknown before the murder they attribute in a random incident, in a “clash”.

The court he hasn’t answered to the request submitted by defendants, including Yiannis Lagos, former members of parliament convicted of directing the criminal organization, Giorgos Roupakias and Nikias nuclear leader Giorgos Patelis, to be called to testify by the partner of Pavlos Physsa, in whose arms the musician. The woman never wanted to appear in court during the first trial, while she has only given one statement to the Piraeus Investigator a few days after the 34-year-old’s murder.
