For July 16, the trial of the 11 MPs who have been elected with the party was suspended by the Three-Member Court of Misdemeanors Spartans who are accused of deceiving the electorate with a co-accused as the moral perpetrator in their act the convicted for the criminal organization Golden Dawn, Ilias Kasidiaris.

A lawyer is also sitting on the bench as an accomplice in the crime of the 11, as he had made his office available for the leaders of the party to make statements when he entered Parliament.

The charge of cheating the electorate was brought against the defendants following an investigation by the prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Georgia Adelinis, on the occasion of statements by the leader of the Spartans, Vassilis Stiga, from the floor of the Parliament, about “blackmail and mafia” within his party.

Mr. Stigas was summoned and testified at the Supreme Court where, according to information, he referred to constant contacts of party deputies with the imprisoned Ilias Kasidiaris. In fact, Mr. Stigas, who is a key witness in the trial, had referred to the former leader of Golden Dawn, calling him “Don Corleone”.

According to Ms. Adeilini’s research, Ilias Kasidiaris was the hidden leader of the “Spartiates”, who illegally had continuous contacts from prison with candidate members of the Spartans formation, assuming his guidance and support.

The interruption in the proceedings was given after a relevant request submitted to the court, while the leader of the party, Vassilis Stigas, was present in the proceedings.
