Court hands down suspended sentence on retiree in Kozani for racist comments
A court in Kozani, northern Greece, on Thursday handed down a prison sentence of 6 months suspended for 3 years, to a 57-year-old pensioner who was arrested on Wednesday on charges of racist insults against a female doctor of Nigerian descent at the city's "Mamatsio" Hospital.
In his testimony, the man apologised for the incident and said that he was not a racist.
The 29-year-old doctor, who had notified police of the incident and had filed a suit against the defendant, also testified in court.
