The 54-year-old from Florina was sentenced to pre-trial detention with the agreement of the investigator and the prosecutorin whose house heavy weapons and explosives were found.

The 54-year-old, during his apology, completely denied the criminal charges against him as baselessaccording to ERT, claiming that he was a collector of weapons systems and that all the weapons in his possession were not functional and that he had found them either in the mountainous areas of the region, where many battles have been fought both in the second world war and in the civil war but and on shooting ranges.

As his lawyer, Mr. Giorgos Tzikas, stated, most of these guns were not functional they had not been used in any criminal activity and he did not repair them to resell – as it has been heard – as the tools and knowledge possessed by the 54-year-old were amateur and he did not repair the weapons to sell them, but to have them in his personal collection.

Let us recall that his 57-year-old wife was remanded in custody and taken to Korydallos prisonswhere the 54-year-old will also be taken.
