Appeals Court resumes Akis Tsohatzopoulos' trial
A Felonies Appeal Court on Friday resumed the second degree trial of jailed former PASOK minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos and his co-defendants in the defense procurement kickbacks and money-laundering case.
The court was called to consider an objection by the defense asking that the State does not attend the trial. The court’s prosecutor has already recommended that the objection be overturned, claiming that the State needs to be present as it suffered damage from the defendants’ activities and has the right to defend its interests.
Only nine of the 17 defendants showed up at the court on Thursday. Tsohatzopoulos’ wife, Vicky Stamati and his daughter, Areti Tsohatzopoulou are being represented by their lawyers.
The hearing is underway, while the next session of the court has been scheduled for October 31.
