Chrysochoid for Katsouri Murder: “An attempt is made to collect data to get the case back on its way”

The report of measures taken a year and a half ago for fanatic violence, on the occasion of the assassination of police officer George Lygeridis, was held at a press conference given by ministers. Michalis Chrysochoidis (Citizen Protection), Yiannis Broutsis (Sports), Akis Skrtsos (State) and Dimitris Papastergiou (Digital governance), while the George Floridis (Justice) who was scheduled to give this present, he finally did not attend.

And indeed, this one and a half years have become some things, the law operated to some extent and the phenomena – to a percentage – were reduced. And this, mainly because of the penalties imposed by the DEAB on the PAE. Outside the context of the games, of course, the clashes with fan motivations never stopped … they didn’t even limit themselves!

As stated by the ministers, 109 matches were held behind closed doors (in all sports and all categories), a total of 604 arrests were made, while the state received 1.6m euros from administrative fines.

However, some wounds never closed! And for these wounds, the government either had no convincing answers or had no answers in general …

Mr. Chrysochoid For the murder of Michalis Katsouristhe unparalleled police fiasco that day and for criminal investigation of the case, where we had dozens of arrests, but without ever identifying the physicist.

“It is a fact that it does not honor the state to have such a gap as the one by the police that day. Of course, I came to the ministry, I wasn’t then. But I can tell you that there is an attempt to collect elements so that this case can take its way back on“, Said the Minister of Citizen Protection, without going into further details.

BWINSPOR FM 94.6 and Sport-fm.gr found at the press conference, asked Mr. Chrysochoids straight: “ELAS officers Who with their omissions and negligence allowed them to become a murder in New Philadelphia, what have the consequences? Are they still working in the police?“

The minister replied: ‘Those who were punished for what happened have left. Those who have been rid of themselves continue on their posts …”

It is recalled here that by the decision of the Prosecutor of Appeals last March, the criminal case (for breach of duty) on the responsibilities of 7 high -ranking police officers in the absence of the clashes was permanently set up, on the grounds that these … “acted exclusively”!

It was also said at a press conference by ministers that there is now a significant acceleration in the cases, meaning the DEAB, but it is not a court.

We have asked, “why there is no corresponding acceleration on the criminal level, since no one has been tried for the murder in New Philadelphia- from the dozens of arrested- so far (even for a mere involvement in the clash), while the murder of Liggeridis has only been killed, but only 160.

As mentioned above, the Minister of Justice, George Floridis did not appear to respond, while by the rest, the Akis Skrtsos confined to a generalist: ‘We are proceeding with the acceleration of the process and to justice”

Finally, regarding the penalties imposed by the DEAB and for which there is a reaction from the PAE, Yiannis Broutsis confirmed that does not intend to change the law And how will it simply abolish the doubt in relapse. That is, the sentence will be always a racingno matter how many times there is an incident from the same group.
