Request to Reveal Confidential Report Regarding Stylianos' Death

The trial regarding the suicide of 14-year-old Stylianos continued, focusing on the defense's request to reveal a report from 2020. The defense believes this document is critical to the case, as it is directly related to the issues at hand and its author will testify as a prosecution witness. The prosecution opposes the disclosure, arguing that it is internal communication with legal privilege and does not constitute evidentiary material. However, the defense maintains that non-disclosure violates the principle of equality of arms and the prosecution's obligation to make all relevant material available to the defense. Additionally, the defense raised a procedural issue, arguing that the trial cannot proceed as long as the report in question was drafted by the next prosecution witness. The Court reserved its decision on the request, with a ruling expected on April 2, 2026. The case concerns the tragic death of Stylianos in September 2019 and investigates potential responsibilities within the family and by state services, as the minor allegedly lived in an environment of abuse and violence.
