Return to the chair of the joint jury that judges the actor Petros Philippidisa member of the jury, who was replaced a few days ago by a deputy member, is demanding the protection of one of the three women who complain of sexual abuse against the defendant.

The lawyer of the complaining actress, Haris Salustros, raised the issue of changing the jury at the beginning of the proceedings, which took place at the previous meeting. This is an employee of the Ministry of Defense, who petitioned for her release from her position in the Ministry of Defense, submitting to the court an official document confirming her presence in the process of manufacturing military equipment, which is critical on the islands of the Eastern Aegean Sea and Evros, is of great importance.

Mr. Salustros, emphasizing that “this particular juror has shown a special interest in the performance of his duties…”, requested that the change be reversed, emphasizing that the position of the Office of the Prosecutor should be heard on this issue. . He also asked the court to apply to the Ministry of Defense to return to his place the juror who left the previous session.

In the opinion of the second applicant’s counsel, the issue was the absolute nullity of the decision to recall the juror in question, in connection with which, according to him, there was no discussion in court with the position of the prosecutor and the parties, and the replacement was announced by the president.

“I believe that there is a question about the absolute invalidity of this review. The documents that I have read testify to the intervention of the executive branch in the upcoming trial in order to force the jury to work. This is not a reason! providing no opportunity even if the end of the trial is imminent.I think your court should first settle this matter.Ministry intervention is unacceptable.Other services can do the same.If another juror asks to leave, the trial will be adjourned.This is the deprivation of the natural judge.This interference. All this is done out of spite. It is a matter of both moral and legal order. I reserve the right to sue this interference, “said Mr. Salustros, justifying the question of invalidity he raised.

The president informed counsel that she had looked into other similar decisions and interpretations by the professors, while pointing out that a similar jury change had been made in the Dr. Kontos trial, which also had a long duration.

The defense disagreed with Mr Salustro while the court is in recess so that the prosecutor can make a motion on the motion.

Actors Zeta Makripulia, Thassos Halkias and Rania Shiza are present in court and were called to testify at today’s trial.
