The president of SYRIZA-PS, Stefanos Kasselakis, comments on the decision for “low sentences in the trial for Mati” in his post on social networks.

“My thoughts these days are with the families of the people in Mati, who waited for justice for six whole years and saw those responsible pay and leave like ‘gentlemen'” he notes and continues: “You want to know the truth about the unacceptably low penalties in the Eye trial? Let’s look together first at Mr. Mitsotakis’ professional lie.

Let’s see together the truth from the criminologist Mr. Capernaro, who explains how felonies were rechristened misdemeanors to arrive at these penalties.”

St. Kasselakis referred to a post by the lawyer at the Supreme Court, Mr. Sotiropoulos, quoting the relevant passage: “The same article 302, as it applied to P.K. of 1950, it was valid in 2018, 2019, the same and unchanged it is valid today”.

“With this article, the defendants for the tragedy in Mati, whom Mr. Mitsotakis upgraded as soon as he became prime minister, fell into the trap. Look now who allows convicted people to redeem their sentences and be free” he emphasizes, while also referring to a statement by the president of the Athens Bar Association, Mr. Vervesos, how “the ND changed the Criminal Code so that the guilty pay and go away ».

“This justice of impunity must change. And I promise you that it will change” concludes the president of SYRIZA-PS.
