The witness gave the court a story she told in a telephone conversation with Dimitris Papagelopoulos, who, in her opinion, what he told her caused her fear and belief that he asked her to fabricate evidence for politicians in the Novartis case. When asked why she didn’t immediately file a complaint, Ms. Raikou said: “I felt then that I was not enjoying the institutional protection that should be given to all justice officials.”

The prosecutor, however, said that Dimitris Papagelopoulos “meddles in other cases as well” and also cited the cases of current Supreme Court prosecutor Isidoros Dogiakos, as well as Honorary Prosecutor Georgia Tzatani (prosecution witness against Papagelopoulos), who were attacked with bombs, in support of her view that there had previously been incidents that had inspired fear in her, but without any connection to the accused minister.
