Confident that the Appeals Committee will overturn the first-class ruling in his racist attack case Achillea Beau to Andrea Teteistated Alexis Kougiascharacterizing the opposite decision as a huge judicial scandal.
After all, the well-known criminologist and vice-president of Olympiakos undertook the legal representation of the powerful man of Volos and his team. Asked, therefore, about his relations with Achillea Beo, he emphasized: “Those who from time to time turn against me, in their difficult moments always come to Alexis Kougia to help them».
Afterwards, he spoke about groups that do not have a social support, but also about the possibility of Volos to appeal to the CAS if he is not vindicated even in the second instance.
In detail, the statements of Alexis Kouya:
“This case, if our claims and those of Achilles Beu are not ultimately successful, will really constitute a huge judicial scandal. In other words, if the Commissioner of Appeals validates this unjustified decision which I handled this morning, because I took it on yesterday late at night, it will really be a scandal and at the same time it is not only a judicial scandal, because it will alter the whole character of the championship.
Imagine tomorrow that Volos is relegated for one point difference from Kifisia, while Volos loses one point and Kifisia gains three points. This is a distortion of the league, because if a system wants to promote Kifissia, as it did, every year for five years it moves up categories, without its fans even filling a bus and ultimately wants to keep teams of this level in the category, imagine now that in a little while Athens Kallithea will be promoted, there is a possibility that Levadeiakos will be promoted, which I hope will not be promoted and that my former team AEL will be promoted, which also has people and makes a lot of things like history. Next year we will have a Superleague without possibly PAS Ioannina and Panaitolikos, which may be relegated and in the league will be Levadeiakos, Kifisia, Athens Kallithea, Volos, Asteras Tripoli, teams that do not really have social support.
This is a huge blow for football. But the biggest blow is injustice. Here really from the very words of Tetei, who said that I did not know that the phrase monkey is racist, the case ended. Also from the video if one sees Beau’s posture and the way he says it, it is clear that it is a monologue. A wrong referee decision that brings a reaction. In order for there to be a racist attack, it must be specific, directed against a certain person and the person doing it must know that the specific person knows that what is being done against him is a racist attack. When he himself says that I do not know the word monkey, the rest of what Beos says is not foul. He must understand this because he speaks Greek. So, where and how do we have a racist attack. I am confident that the Appeals Committee will overturn the first instance decision».
Afterwards, Alexis Kougias spoke about:
-his relationship with Achilles Beo:
“Regarding my relationship with Achillea Beo and today’s presence which probably surprised the Panhellenic community, as I have stated, I am used to these 50 years of my professional career, those who from time to time turn against me, in their difficult moments always to they come to Alexis Kougia to help them».
– the self-exclusion of the previous president:
“Mr. Melissinos is one of the later judges. At the moment he is president of appeals and therefore before the step of the Supreme Court. With a separate judicial path. It creates thoughts, but let me tell you, when you are asked a question like this and you have to give an answer you have to be very careful, I may have thoughts, but I can’t articulate them in any way».
– the case where Volos is not vindicated:
“His only recourse after that is CAS. This is a matter of willingness of Achilles Beu to appeal there. In the case of the multi-ownership of PAOK and in the case of Olympiakos, it issued different decisions from those issued by the Greek judicial bodies. In my humble opinion, if Volos and Beos are finally punished, it will definitely be overturned in the CAS. It has none of the characteristics that CAS wants in its reasoned decisions. The whole case is included in the concept, the legal essence of the act. It is a practice to address someone specific, to want to hurt his honor and reputation, to want to show him racist behavior and to be sure that he will understand and be upset at that moment.
This particular kid didn’t understand anything else if they made him say after the fact, because he went to complain about the yellow card he didn’t show to the Volos player for the foul, that he allegedly went and complained to the referee. Then why didn’t the referee write it on the score sheet? Why didn’t his assistants and the fourth one write anything? The watcher? Why didn’t the police realize anything? So, in our case, there can’t even be any suspicion of committing either a disciplinary or a criminal offense. Because they say they sued. This is where the following will become unprecedented. This lawsuit be aware will go in the trash. Because there is no deed. And imagine now that Volos and Beos are punished, this will be written with Mr. Grigoriou in our memorandum and that regular justice comes later to acquit Beos of any criminal offense. Because racist behavior is an ex officio prosecuted criminal offence».
