“I was not a member of the Golden Dawn. I supported my husband, “said Eleni Zaroulia, a former member of the criminal organization, apologizing to the Five -Member Court of Appeals, where he has been trying the case for three years.

The apologies process has begun for a few days now, with some of the defendants, who have essentially “served” the first -instance penalties, showing reluctance to appear before the judges.

Ms. Zaroulia, questioning the charge of the criminal organization, as a manager of which was first sentenced to six years in prison, denied what she was given and asked to be judged for her actions as a Member of Parliament and not for acts in which she did not participate.

The defendant, having Magda Fyssa behind her audience, reiterated that she and her husband were informed of the murder of the 34 -year -old musician the following day and that a few minutes after the crime, while the members of the organization were intense, they did not know themselves. As she said, Nikos Michaloliakos was informed by herself of the crime as she was informed that she was being investigated at the Golden Dawn offices.

President: Had your husband not received a phone call?

Accused: No.

President: The members of the Golden Dawn that night exchanged many messages between them. Didn’t they inform the Secretary -General? Wasn’t it informed about all things in the party?

Accused: Normally it should be done, but it was not 100%.

The defendant received many questions about Golden Dawn criminal acts and her characterizations in her speeches against foreigners.

During the questions there was a tension when the accused Yiannis Lagos, wanting to defend E. Zaroulia for the questions she received, began to shout “You only ask speeches for so long. For no criminal activity … “

Prosecutor: Why are my questions disturbed?

G. Lagos: You ask the woman for so long for speeches …

President: To eliminate the accused until younger because he interrupts apology.

G. Lagos: Not the apology. I stop the slaughter. They have put you to execute commands. Junk…

Prosecutor (to the defendant): Did the party have a Nazi ideology?

Accused: The party never. When you are with your friends in a room and vineyards, you can say whatever you want. In Greece the mind is not prosecuted. We never said out such things.

N. Michaloliakos’ wife said that the defendant as a leader of the criminal organization would not come to court to apologize, stating that “his damaged health does not allow him to go to court”.

Apologies continue.
