Thanasi Case: Decision on Preliminary Objections on April 3rd

The hearing of arguments on the preliminary objections in the Thanasi Nikolaou case concluded on Thursday, with the court reserving its decision until April 3rd. The arguments concerned objections regarding a fair trial, the non-disclosure of evidence, and the filing of the indictment by Savvas Matsas. The lawyer for the Nikolaou family refuted the objections, while the former Lania police station chief, Christakis Kapiliotis, defended himself without legal counsel. Following the withdrawal of Savvas Matsas by a lawyer for the family, he will be called as a witness.
