In the trial for the murder of Giorgos Lyggeridis, accusations are being leveled against a former police chief, while the parents are asking the court to transfer the proceedings. <\/p>\n
Journalist Elena Galaris<\/strong>, speaking about the trial for the murder of Giorgos Lyggeridis<\/strong>, noted that the victim\u2019s parents are eagerly awaiting the moment when the then Piraeus police chief<\/strong> will be called to testify, as serious accusations have been leveled against him by witnesses<\/strong>. <\/p>\n During the discussion on the Live You<\/b> show on SKAI<\/b>, Aris Portosalte<\/strong> commented that the allegations concern the possibility that \u201cthose involved<\/strong> in the murder were helped to escape.\u201d For her part, Elena Galaris<\/strong> noted that a police witness had testified that, although there was an order to conduct checks on everyone<\/strong>, his colleagues had told him that the then Piraeus police chief<\/strong> had prohibited the inspection of specific shipments and vehicles<\/strong>. <\/p>\n At the same time, the parents of Lyggeridis<\/strong> are requesting that the trial<\/strong> be moved to a courtroom at the Court of Appeals<\/strong>, arguing that the current format of the proceedings does not allow for sufficient public attendance. As they point out, \u201cwe are not prisoners<\/strong>\u201d and it is unacceptable to hinder access for those who wish to observe the trial. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Galaris on the trial for the murder of Lyggeridis: \u201cWhat Lyggeridis\u2019s parents are waiting for is to see when the then-police chief of Piraeus will be called to testify here.
