“I think, in a clear way, the announcement of the Prosecutor of the Supreme Court, which took place yesterday and the prosecutor says that a request for the identification of the body, that is, to see if it is the child of this man, has not been submitted. But the prosecutor says that the prosecutor’s office may possibly assess that in the out -of -court statement sent by Mr Rucci there is even an indirect reference to this issue, namely the identification of the body and consequently the prosecutor’s office will be examined and responded soon. The appreciation I have based on and what I read today is that the prosecutors will really move on to it. “

This was stated by the Minister of Justice George Floridisspeaking to ERT About the hunger striker Panos Rucci who calls for the exhumation of his son’s body.

“On the basis of this legal margin described by the Supreme Court’s prosecutor, the development could be to make the exhumation, the demanding exhumation, even indirectly, in order to determine if it is the child of that man, ” Mr. Floridis added.

Asked if this development can be done immediately, he noted ‘I appreciate yes, because the prosecutor says this in his announcement. These are not my estimates. I read and try to interpret the statement of the Prosecutor. There he says that the prosecutors, if they estimate that there is at least an indirect request to determine if the child is, then they will proceed immediately. So I think it will be very quick to finally how the prosecution is moving“
