Legal Service Explains Decision in Al Jazeera Case - Appeal Filed

The Legal Service, through its spokesperson Polina Evthivoulou, held a press conference following the acquittal of Dimitris Syllouris and Giovanni in the “Golden Passport” case. The Legal Service announced that it will file an appeal due to judicial errors, while emphasizing its respect for the presumption of innocence. Evthivoulou explained the reasons why the video related to the case was not used as evidence, as it did not meet the legal requirements. Additionally, she referred to the absence of two important witnesses, one of whom had been threatened and the other had cited health problems. The Legal Service stressed that the appeal is being filed to ensure the correct application of the law and the administration of justice.
