Golden Dawn MP Artemis Mattheopoulos has been summoned to testify to the examining magistrates Ioanna Klapa and Maria Dimitropoulou investigating the Golden Dawn (GD) case facing the charges of participating and directing a criminal organization.

After Mattheopoulos’ testimony, the magistrates will call GD deputies whose immunity has been lifted to give additional depositions. Among them the party leader Nikos Mihaloliakos and MP Christos Pappas who are still in custody as well as MP Ilias Kasidiaris who has been released on conditions, will appear before the magistrates.

An Appeals Court Council decision on Golden Dawn MP Eleni Zaroulia penal treatment is still pending. Zaroulia who testified last week was temporarily placed under house arrest following a disagreement between the prosecutor, who suggested she should be held on remand and the examining magistrates, who proposed that she should be placed under house arrest.

If the Council adopts the prosecutor’s proposal, Zaroulia will be send to prison. If it adopts the examining magistrates’ position, she will be placed under house detention and will be banned from leaving the country but she will be able to attend the parliamentary proceedings.
