ATHENS, Oct 22 — A Greek court today ordered neo-Nazi Golden Dawn chief Nikos Michaloliakos and his former top aides to begin immediately serving prison sentences, capping one of the most significant trials in the country’s political history. Following the ruling, warrants are to be issued for...

Greek police surround some of the members of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn to be arrested following the final verdict in the five year trial of leading members of Golden Dawn who have been convicted of the 2013 murder of an anti-fascist rapper, in Athens, October 22, 2020. — AFP pic

Several of those convicted including some lawmakers have already turned themselves in, state television ERT said. “I thank the hundreds of thousands of Greeks who stood by Golden Dawn all these years,” said the 62-year-old mathematician and former protege of Greek dictator Georgios Papadopoulos. Greek judicial authorities must formally request that Lagos’ immunity be lifted by the European parliament before he can be imprisoned.

The head judge Maria Lepenioti on Monday also publicly questioned the state prosecutor’s demand that most of the convicted be provisionally released pending appeals trials, which could take years to adjudicate.The court has accepted that Golden Dawn was a criminal organisation run by Michaloliakos using a military-style hierarchy modelled on Hitler’s Nazi party.

Another former Golden Dawn organiser, former death metal bassist Georgios Germenis who is now an assistant for Lagos at the European parliament, today said his conviction was “absurd” and politically motivated.
