Immunity Lift Requested for the Rest of Golden Dawn MPs

The special investigating judges for the Golden Dawn case, Ioanna Klapa and Maria Dimitropoulou, have requested the Greek government to lift the parliamentary immunity of the rest of the party’s parliamentary group. More specifically, the investigators have requested the lift of immunity of nine more Golden Dawn MP – Nikolas Kouzilos, Polivios Zisimopoulos, Eleni Zaroulia, Konstantinos Barbarousis, Antonios Gregos, Artemis Mattheopoulos, Chrysovalantis Alexopoulos, Dimitrios Koukoutsis and Michael Arvanitis – who have not yet been implicated as suspects in criminal activities. However, the investigators requested their immunity lift as they believe that the rest of the Golden Dawn MPs should testify for the charges of participating in a criminal organization. Moreover, the investigators are planning on questioning six Golden Dawn MPs – Ilias Kasidiaris, Nikos Michaloliakos, Panagiotis Lagos, Giorgos Germenis, Nikolaos Michos, Panagiotis Iliopoulos and Efstathios Boukouras – for illegal possession and use of fire arms as well as for the supply of other members of the criminal organization with weapons.

Shortly after and while people had gathered around Mr. Michelakis and Mr. Sifunakis, the MP Elias Kasidiaris accused the majority of the government’s MPs of regime abolition and treason. Golden Dawn’s reaction on the immunity lift issue included threatening insults from Artemis Matthaiopoulos which were heard in the hallway outside the entrance of the Parliament.
