The second complainant in the case of Petros Filippides came out of the Athens Court of Appeal.

With her lawyer on her side, the actress was enough to declare “I feel justified and relieved, thank you” and then removed from the cameras that are standing in the Court of Appeal.

It is recalled that a three -year prison sentence was imposed by Petros Filippides, who was deemed unanimously guilty, without the recognition of mitigating.

“It was a unanimous conviction for the accused, as in the first instance. Six judges, first -instance and appellants, and at the same time eight jurors considered that the defendant was guilty of the acts he is accused of. It is an important justification for my client, which gave a very big struggle in this case, as you know. It is an important moment for Greek justice, as a surname is condemned for the first time against sexual freedom and self -determination, ”he said. Zacharias Salustrosa lawyer for one of the two actors who denounced Petros Filippides for attempted rape.

As said by one of the lawyers who represented the sufferers, Andreas Vangopoulos:

“The Greek justice ruled with a unanimous loud decision and unanimous rejection of mitigating circumstances. It is a significant decision, a loud message that the Greek justice acknowledged that any form of abuse of power and gender -based violence is not tolerated. Silence broke, freedom was given to victims to break their silence“

Alexander Mintzias, also one of the class support lawyers, told reporters:

“After five years and sixty meetings we reached the end of a special case. There are loud messages from justice. I had said in my speech that these women did not come for revenge, only for justification. It was not an aim for the defendant to avoid an example, but for the Justice to be an example to imitate. The sentence is not high but the minimum given to him, but such decisions make you feel that you serve this place“
