The perpetrators of yesterday’s attack must be punished in an exemplary manner” underlines the party’s comment.
Those arrested for the homophobic attack against two members of the LGBTI community, last night in Aristotelous Square, were referred to the Autonomous Single-Member Criminal Court of Thessaloniki.
These are 9 out of a total of 21 arrested, as the remaining 12 are minors and were released by verbal order of the public prosecutor, after having previously referred them to the competent Juvenile Court.
All those arrested were prosecuted for serial insults with racial characteristics, while two of the adults were additionally charged with attempted serial simple bodily harm (again with racial characteristics).
The case file filed by the Thessaloniki Racist Violence Department of ELAS also includes unknown perpetrators who are being prosecuted for threats.
The 9 defendants who were referred to trial by the automatic procedure, remain in custody and will be brought to court tomorrow.
Finally, the Thessaloniki First Instance Prosecutor’s Office examines whether criminal responsibilities arise against the parents of the minors.
According to ELAS, among the 21 arrested are 9 Greeks and 12 foreigners (originating from Albania and Georgia).
