“When people say the politician must meet the natural judge faster, the government in the Triantopoulos case has done so.”
On his TV SKAI hosted on Wednesday morning (30/4) The Minister of Justice George Floridiswho was called upon to comment on the latest developments around the case of Temps After the transmission of the case file to investigate any criminal liability for former ministers Kostas Karamanlis and Christos Spirtz.
“I think the Prime Minister has given the context that the government is not going to put any obstacles to the Justice of all issues concerning political persons,” he initially said, while asking the possibility of pre -trial investigation:
“The parties should receive copies of the case file with the investigator’s note, study it and then decide each party separately. There is no specific category here. At some point, very recently, after two apologies of the ministry executives, the investigator notes that these apologists refer to responsibilities arising from applicable legislation on security issues by the relevant ministers. When he meets this, the investigator stops investigating politicians. He continues the normal investigative process and makes a note that is forwarded to Parliament where he says that during the interrogation there was reference to politicians who were responsible for a particular period. “
“When an investigator meets reports of politicians, according to a Constitution, he is obliged to say ‘I stop here’ and forward it to the House. The procedure now provides that 30 Members can request. The government will in no way put an obstacle to the judicial investigation of these cases. But even the parties are in the process that must study the case file, which is huge. Then, the Plenary Session of the House will be appointed, which will decide on a pre -trial establishment and then, after being constituted, will investigate what he needs to investigate. ”
What does Triantopoulos model mean
With reference to the so -called ‘Triantopoulos“, Mr Floridis stressed that the first constitutions after the Greek Revolution predict that ministers are being prosecuted only after the House permission, which helped to deal with the” Greek Diocese “over the centuries, but for which it is not the criticism of a criticism of the criticism.
“What happened to the Triantopoulos case? Was the pre -trial investigation, which said? In this case we have been constituted, I need to look for something else and this case as I send them to the natural judge. What does a natural judge now mean? Already from the Supreme Court the list of all Areopagites has been forwarded to Parliament and the House will be drawn in a public meeting of the investigators and the Judicial Council. “
“So, based on this, the pre -trial will see what material has in her hands. Here the political system will be judged by the world whether it is serious. When people say that the politician must meet the natural judge as soon as possible, the government in the Triantopoulos case has done so. If everyone’s request is to do so, why not? To do some shows? “
