Petros Filippides will appeal to the Supreme Court, after the condemn him for two rape attemptsas announced by his lawyer, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos.

“We will go to the Supreme Court and ask for the decision to undo the decision because we believe it is incorrect.”Mr Dimitrakopoulos said characteristically, and also said that the “presumption of innocence was plundered by the prosecutors of television and the internet”.

As he explained, the fact that the actor was sentenced to two attempts at rape against his colleagues with a 3 -year sentence with suspension shows that the judges were not convinced of his guilt.

In detail, Mr. Dimitrakopoulos’ statements:

“After four years, where the presumption of innocence of Petros Filippidis was looted by the prosecutors of television and the internet, who did nothing but influence public opinion that Petros Filipidis is guilty – guilty.

We are here, we respect it, but the criminal procedure does not end here. We will certainly go to the Supreme Court and ask for the decision to undo the decision, because we believe it is incorrect. The evidence of this case file is poor. There are no objective evidence. There is no forensic report. There is no DNA. There are no toxicological exams. There is no removal of communications confidentiality. There is nothing but some girlfriends, which confirm the complaints, and even in a contradictory way, as described by the Prosecutor of the headquarters, Mr. Andreas Karaflos.

These contradictions, which are not insignificant, but are systemic would say contradictions, contradictions that come into direct conflict with common sense, are sure to create doubts. Mr. Andreas Karaflos rightly said innocent. The court, however, did not translate these doubts into an exemption. But the sentence, which was issued, three years suspended, is a sentence that proves that the judges were not convinced of Mr Filippides’ guilt within them and showed it with the three -year suspended suspension sentence.

The fight, I repeat, the legal struggle continues. I would say that at the expense of the infringements of the internet prosecutors, the ruling and the judges, in my opinion, did not stand it. And therefore, instead of acquitting, they have imposed, I repeat, a penalty of doubt. However, I would like to publicly congratulate the President of the Court of Appeals, which was the regular judge all these months, which has conducted the procedural procedure in a great manner. As I would like to congratulate the Deputy President of the Court of Appeals, Mrs Kouskoukis, who, despite not acquitting our client, imposed a penalty corresponding and proportionate to what condemned him.

Because these rape should know the world, they are unprecedented. There is no rape in the Criminal Code, there is no rapist, who is trying to threaten and force, with supposed violence, to become a stubborn and open the car door or open the door to the dressing room. There are no such rapists. Petros Filippides, we are convinced, It is not rapist and will also be proven by the Supreme Court’s decision. Petros Filippides respects, honors women both in words and by actions.

However, I repeat, it is a feat for my colleagues and I would like to publicly thank Mrs Pakirtzidou and Mrs. Boboli for the race we have been doing all these years. And we endured and stood up. And fortunately it is a decision that enables Petros Filippides to return to his family and give his fight to the Supreme Court. We are optimistic that in the end the Supreme Court’s verdict will be appealing and will return to the Court of Appeal until the final justification. “
