New Democracy accuses SYRIZA of crocodile tears regarding the release of Epamineondas Korkoneas, stressing that the law was changed in 2019, shortly before the July elections.
In a statement, ND states: “The Mixed Jury Court of Appeal of Lamia today recognized again the former special guard, Epameinonda Korkoneaconvicted of his murder Alexandrou Grigoropoulosthe mitigation of the previous legal life with 4-3 votes.
Let us remind Mr. Iliopoulos and SYRIZA, who appear today indignant at the decision, the following: With Law 4619/2019, which was passed on 11-06-2019 and is valid from 01-07-2019, ie a few days before the elections, during the SYRIZA government, the following were modified, among others:
– The mitigating factor of article 84 par. 2 a.i. without having to prove it in a positive way.
– The crime of intentional homicide is punishable by a life sentence or a temporary sentence of at least 10 years (10-15 years).
– In the case of life imprisonment, the minimum effective sentence for convicts is 16 years.
The framework changed under the SW government. Specifically: With law 4855 / 12-11-2021, the following amendments were made, among others:
– The only sentence now provided for the crime of intentional homicide is life imprisonment.
– The formal and substantive conditions for the conditional release of those convicted of crime, including homicide, have been tightened.
Thus, in case of imposition of temporary imprisonment for the crime of homicide, the possibility for conditional release is given only if 4/5 of the sentence has been estimated with a beneficial calculation (eg work in prison) instead of the 3/5 that was valid until November 2021.
– In the case of life imprisonment the minimum actual assessment for convicts is increased to 18 years (actual assessment). Until this change the minimum real estate threshold was 16 years.
It is noted that despite the changes of law 4855/2021 in the Korkonea case, the provisions of law 4619/2019 are applied as more favorable for the accused. And the most benevolent were the ones instituted by SYRIZA.
So let Mr. Iliopoulos leave the crocodile tears “.
