Golden Dawn trial: Tension with “good morning” from Lagos – The president took him out of the room

by

“You can’t have four trials a month. When will this trial end? This situation is unacceptable,” protested Yiannis Lagos.

With intensity, because of his protest John Lagou for the “few hearings” of the court, today’s session of the Five-Member Court of Criminal Appeals, which hears Golden Dawn in the second degree, began.

The MEP convicted of running a criminal organization asked to speak as soon as his name was announced.

Although the president told him to wait for her to complete the list of defendants, Mr. Hare -who declares every time a “political prisoner”- began to shout: “I want to protest. You can’t have four trials a month. When will this trial end? This situation is unacceptable.”

The president asked him to wait for all the names to be announced and when Yiannis Lagos took the floor, he furiously started complaining again about the few meetings. “Have you been relieved of other duties and are giving four trials? Same on you. So we will serve because you are incompetent?”

When the president tried to speak to him, the imprisoned MEP raised his voice even more:

Hare: Shame on you.. Incompetent! Make the decision you have been told.

President (to police officers): Please take the gentleman outside to calm down.

Hare (while being led by police officers to the exit): You are unfit to judge, you little people. Cowards and worthless.

After Yannis Lagos was taken out of the room, the president called the DIAS police officer to the podium Christos Deligiannis that he testified at the previous session, as the defense counsel had asked the witness to come in order to ask questions.

However, a lawyer’s associate said today that she will not be asking final questions.

Chairman: Mr. Deligiannis, we apologize for bringing you today. You can leave. Sorry.

The brother of the cafe owner was called to the witness stand Coral Demosthenes Dimitratos.

The witness testified that on the fateful night of the murder, Pavlos Fyssas and his group went to the cafeteria to watch a football match. He also said that the accused Ioannis Aggos was also in the cafe, who was sitting at a distance of about 3 meters from the musician’s table.

According to the witness, he did not notice anything strange happening inside the store.

After the end of the fight, as he testified, when he went out to throw away the garbage, he saw Fyssa, another man and a girl outside the store. Opposite, said Mr. Dimitratos, he saw four figures.

To the president’s questions, the witness said that “the children were worried” and that “one of the children told me something about ‘fascists in our neighborhood'”.

As the witness said, he himself asked the patron of the cafe, Dimitris Hatzistamati (the person who allegedly mediated between the two sides outside the cafe) to remain in the area. At the same time he told the children not to worry because “a policeman is here”.

The witness testified that he continued his work inside the cafe, and that while the shop had already been cleaned and the lights had started to go out, he heard “football, some engines and the police” without, however, remembering what he heard first and what happened next.

The owner of the cafeteria moved in his testimony along the same lines, Panagiotis Dimitratosbrother of the previous witness, who said that during the fight nothing happened inside his shop.

A few hours after he was taken out of the room, Yannis Lagos asked through a police officer to come back. “Madam president, the accused states that he has calmed down. Can it be moved to the hall?’ said the guard, only to receive a positive response from Edras.

In court today, the writer Ioanna Karystiani is watching the proceedings alongside Magda Fyssa.
