Golden Dawn trial may be delayed due to Justice understaffing, Justice min says

There are delays in Justice due to understaffing, Justice Minister Nikos Paraskevopoulos on Wednesday (04/03/2015) told Vima FM.

"This is what may lead to a delay in the Golden Dawn trial and the release of its deputies, due to the expiration of the 18-month period for their temporary detention," he said in an interview published on the radio station's website.

He said the first bill that the Justice Ministry will table in Parliament will relate to the civil partnership agreement.

He also reiterated his intention to abolish maximum security prisons noting, however, that all jails will have this kind of units.
