Position for abstention of the Greek referees from the games of the upcoming season took the Panathinaikos.
With the “green” PAE yes stands by themthrough an announcement he issued today (05/12), asking them at the same time to… activate!
Depositing in Justice those who have been victims of attacks similar to that of Tasos Papapetrouin order to help prevent similar incidents from continuing and Greek football remaining “hostage” to corruption…
The relevant announcement in detail:
“”PAE Panathinaikos welcomes today’s decision of the referees to refrain from their duties for the next matchday, after the very serious threats against his life and family, received by the referee, Mr. Anastasios Papapetrou.
In order for their decision to be a trigger for a substantial cleansing in football, we call on all referees who have so far suffered any form of violence or pressure related to the exercise of their duties by any group or factor, to immediately report the relevant facts to the investigation that conducted by the honorable Deputy Prosecutor of the Supreme Court.
If the perpetrators of threats and violence against them remain silent and go unpunished once again, it is absolutely certain that such incidents will continue unabated and Greek football will remain hostage to lawlessness and corruption.”
