Golden Dawn MP Nikos Mihos, who on Wednesday appeared before the examining magistrates handling the Golden Dawn case to give a supplementary deposition, was placed under house arrest after the conclusion of his testimony.

The examining magistrates Ioanna Klapa and Maria Dimitropoulou disagreed with prosecutor Isidoros Doyiakos who opined that Mihos should be released under conditions. Mihos will remain under house arrest until an Appeals Court Council rules on the issue.

The deputy was summoned to give explanations on the additional charges of illegal gun possession in order to supply a criminal organisation and drug offences.

In his statements a few days ago Mihos admitted that he illegally possessed a gun for his own safety.
