Court of Appeals prosecutor Isidoros Doghiakos will shortly receive the voluminous Golden Dawn case file, after investigators handling the case — Ioanna Klapa and Maria Dimitropoulou — announced the end of the lengthy investigation.
The two investigators officially sent supervising investigator Doghiakos their detailed findings on Golden Dawn’s illegal activities. He is expected to formulate his suggestion to the Judicial Council, as regards whether or not each of the 78 defendants in the case should be indicted. The Board of Appeals will have the final word on the further penal treatment of the defendants.
The case trial is expected to begin around the end of 2014. The Golden Dawn trial venue has not been designated yet, as it will require a hall of extraordinary specifications, due to the nature of the case, the large number of defendants, witnesses (including protected) and advocates, as well as the need for the projection of dozens of photographs and video clips included in the case file.
Of the 78 defendants, 30 are already in custody. All original 18 Golden Dawn MPs — irrespective of their current status with the party — are facing felony charges of participating and running a criminal organization.
